Ukrainian Orphan Benefit Concert

Russian harpist Sasha Boldachev, The Four Graces harp ensemble and other talented young musicians will perform in a free benefit concert on Sunday, June 8 at Hillside Covenant Church, 2060 Magnolia Way, Walnut Creek, CA 94595. A silent auction begins at 6:15 PM and the concert is at 7 PM. One of the most extraordinary harpists of our time, 24 year-old Boldachev will be performing works by Tchaikovsky and Fauré. Donations will be accepted at the door. The event is to raise funds to help bring five Ukrainian orphans to the U.S. to be hosted by local families. If you are unable to attend the event, but would like to contribute to the effort, donations can be mailed to Hillside Covenant Church with "Ukrainian Orphan Hosting” in the memo line.
