Join us for concert of folk and popular songs, arias and more in support of two humanitarian organizations, one Israeli and one Ukrainian! Ukrainian-Israeli mezzo-soprano Tanya Bertier and Ukrainian-American contralto Vira Slywotzky will sing in Hebrew, Ukrainian, English and Yiddish, accompanied by American pianist Paul Carlson.

All proceeds go to benefit these nonprofits serving tens of thousands of displaced civilians in two countries, each fighting for a just peace.

The name of the concert is taken from an 1890 poem by Lesya Ukrainka, written in Ukrainian but titled in Latin. “Contra Spem Spero” can be translated as “Against All Hope, I Hope.”

Please consider making an additional donation beyond your ticket purchase to further support these wonderful organizations. All ticket sales and donations will be split evenly between Dror Israel and Razom.
