SVITOCH Ukrainian Chamber Choir to perform charity concert in Leamington Spa

SVITOCH, formed as the UK emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic, brings together talented singers from the Ukrainian diaspora in the UK and refugees who have escaped the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The choir's members include conservatoire-trained and seasoned performers, some of whom have previously sung in prestigious venues across Europe and America, including Carnegie Hall and Albert Hall.

Led by conductor Inna Ruzheva, an award-winning graduate of the Mykola Lysenko National Academy of Music L'viv, SVITOCH offers a diverse repertoire spanning modern, sacred, and classical choral pieces. Their performances have graced cathedrals and esteemed venues throughout Britain, including the opening of the 2022 Labour Party Conference.

The concert will raise funds for Ukrainian Medical Charity, a UK-registered charity represented locally by Dr Tania Hebert. This organization provides crucial support to those affected by the conflict in Ukraine, including:

• Coordinating and facilitating the transfer of essential medical supplies to military and civilian hospitals and clinics in Ukraine
• Supporting Ukrainian refugee medical professionals with the registration process and skills required to begin practicing in the UK
• Coordinating and supporting refugees locally in UK, and those in Ukraine also, with mental health support for those traumatized by the war.

SVITOCH has already helped raise over £300,000 for various UK and Ukrainian charities, demonstrating their commitment to making a difference through music.
