Fundraising Concert

In January 2023, the Chinese Music Teachers Association of Northern California held a “War, Music, Hope” fundraising concert for the Ukrainian refugee music students affected by the war. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, which enabled them to participate in the Hiiumaa Homecoming Music Festival held in Estonia in July 2023.

Another year has passed, and as we gather with our families and friends, the flames of war in Ukraine have not ceased, but burning higher and higher. Hiiumaa Homecoming Music Festival became the light in their most desperate and darkest times. Through learning from world-class musicians and the experience of performing alongside with them, music has reignited their passion for life.

This year, the CMTANC remains committed to spreading love and care across the globe. Through our ongoing fundraising efforts for the Hiiumaa Homecoming Music Festival, we endeavor to demonstrate unwavering support and encouragement to the talented refugee Ukrainian music students.

This fundraising concert will showcase an exquisite chamber music performance featuring a violin and piano duo. Renowned pianist Mr. Alexander Kobrin, winner of the prestigious 2005 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, co-director of the Hiiumaa Homecoming Music Festival, will collaborate with Mr. Boris Abramov, distinguished violin professor at Schwob School of Music and Belmont University, member of the festival faculty.

The concert program features a thoughtfully curated selection, showcasing masterpieces such as Beethoven’s piano sonata, “Appassionata”, the iconic A Major violin sonata by César Franck, and enchanting works for violin and piano by Ukrainian composer Sergei Bortkiewicz.

All ticket proceeds will be donated to the Hiiumaa Homecoming Music Festival to assist Ukrainian music students. The CMTANC will also provide tax receipts for your ticket purchases!

Please join us and experience the captivating concert, as we collectively inspire hope and uplift the spirits of the talented refugee Ukrainian musicians.

去年一月份，北加州華人音樂教師協會舉辦了一場「War, Music, Hope」的募款音樂會。因為大家的愛心成功地幫助了25位因為烏俄戰爭而流離失所的音樂學子們募到足夠的獎學金，讓他們前去參加在愛沙尼亞共和國舉行的Hiiuma Homecoming Music Festival。轉眼一年又過去了，烏克蘭的戰爭的烽火不但沒有停歇，而且越加劇烈。而這個音樂營對這些烏克蘭音樂學生來說，是他們在人生最徬徨，黑暗的時期中唯一的曙光。藉著和世界級的大師們學習，並且同台演出的經驗，因著音樂，重新讓他們找回生命的動力。
