Make Music Day: Ukrainian Cultural Forces
June 21 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
In honor of Make Music Day on June 21, we’ll welcome the Ukrainian Cultural Forces for a special FREE performance in Lugar Plaza at 5:30 PM. From the Ukrainian frontlines with thanks, Cultural Forces is stopping in Indianapolis as part of their music tour of gratitude to America.
They played music professionally before the war. After fighting in some of the fiercest battles of Russia’s war against Ukraine and recovering from injuries, they get back to playing. Cultural Forces, the cultural arm of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is bringing five musicians for a tour in the US to thank the American people for their sustained support in helping Ukraine restore its territory and returning peace to Europe.
Performance will include renditions of a wide variety of music, from Ukrainian and world classical pieces to covers of popular hits, including by a master of the traditional Ukrainian string instrument, the bandura. There will be an opportunity for interaction between the audience and the artists.
