About the event
Music To The Rescue is a recital that brings together music, storytelling and humanitarian purpose in support of Ukraine. Created and led by Ukrainian-British mezzo-soprano Anna Starushkevych, the programme forms part of the work of the UK-registered non-profit Music Will Save The World (MWSTW). Anna is joined on the piano by Song in the City Artistic Director Gavin Roberts, who will also perform some Ukrainian piano music. Anna and Gavin are both alumni of The Guildhall School, just across the lake from St Giles Cripplegate, where this event takes place.
Throughout the recital, Anna Starushkevych shares brief reflections and historical insights into Ukraine’s cultural heritage, offering audiences a deeper connection to the country whose people continue to fight for their lives, freedom, and future.
