Perspectives S36 / Ep 12 Support the Arts in Atlanta and help people in Ukraine

Friday, March 15 will be a special evening at Atlanta Symphony Hall as Oleksandr Stoianov and his wife Kateryna Kukhar, founder and principal dancers of the Grand Kyiv Ballet will be performing Gisselle in Atlanta. Theirs is a harrowing and dramatic story as the couple is living in the US - in Seattle, WA because of the war in their homeland. A portion of proceeds from the event will be directed toward the renovation effort of the Kyiv State Choreographic College in Kyiv. The performance is one of the couple's 60 city national tour. They learned of the invasion at the worst possible time. He was in France. She was in Germany. The kids were in Kyiv. They have since been reunited and their daughter is adapting well to live in the USA. So is their son who wants to play soccer professionally. You'll fall in love with this couple and their family.
