The All Saints Anglican Church has teamed up with ACAT (Action by Christians for the Abolition of Torture) Luxembourg to host a benefit concert for Ukraine in the Konvikt Chapel (5 Avenue Marie-Thérèse, L-2132) in Luxembourg City on Sunday 23 March 2025 at 17:00.
The concert will feature traditional music, with musicians from Ukraine and Luxembourg, namely: Belle Bandura, made up of Nadiya Balych and Natalia Demchuk; a duo from Lviv composed of Kateryna and Evgenia Avdieieva; local musicians and music teachers Ria and Claude Clement; folk duo Michel Pecheur and Vincent Soubeyran.
The money raised will go towards providing ambulances and medical equipment to Ukraine, through "Healthy Initiatives". This Ukrainian NGO currently raises funds for ambulances to evacuate wounded civilians and soldiers, along with CAT tourniquets to save lives. In 2024, the NGO delivered 85 ambulances to Ukraine's frontlines; each ambulance costs €8,000. Half of the funds from this benefit concert will support a Ukrainian organisation helping children displaced from eastern Ukraine.
The Anglican Church explained: "When Ukrainians began joining our church family, we started learning about the suffering and tenacity of Ukrainian people in a much more personal way".
The concert is taking place as part of the ACAT project "Espace de rencontre: culture partagée". It will be followed by a reception.
