Upcoming Seattle Symphony concert will benefit Ukraine and refugees worldwide

In light of stressful events half a world away, Seattle-area musicians have found a way to unite and "do something practical" with their craft. A benefit concert at Benaroya Hall will feature Ukrainian songs and art, and raise funds for people affected by the war.

The concert is the evening of Monday, April 4 and features the Seattle Symphony and local Ukrainian musicians. In-person tickets are no longer available, but you can stream the event through the symphony's website, and it will be broadcast live on the Seattle Channel.

The event is partially organized through Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell's office, who will be joined by 33 other King County mayors and King County Executive Dow Constantine at the event.

KUOW’s Kim Malcolm spoke to Raff Wilson, the Vice President of Artistic Planning for the Seattle Symphony.
