Pianist Osokins to tour and raise funds for frontline food in Ukraine

Take note – story published 1 year ago

Acclaimed pianist Andrejs Osokins will hit the road in March with a national tour combined with a new fundraising campaign for Ukraine.

The concert programme “Osokins – to Liszt” is a tribute to one of the most important piano composers and
virtuosos of the 19th century – Franz Liszt – and will feature Liszt's Petrarch Sonnet No. 104 from the cycle “Years of Wandering”.

 

In cooperation with the Embassy of Ukraine in Latvia and the charity fund Ziedot.lv, a new fundraising
campaign initiated by Andrejs Osokins, “Strength Dose for Victory!”, has been launched, during which
people are invited to donate for the purchase of universal meal kits, which will be delivered to Ukrainian
soldiers at the front in cooperation with the Confederation of Ukrainian Societies “Viche”.

“The brutal war in Ukraine is now a year old, which seems absolutely unbelievable. Our support gives Ukrainians not only much-needed resources to continue their fight against evil, but also inspiration and reassurance that they are not alone in this madness. That is why it is extremely important to continue helping Ukraine and its army, because it is this army that is the main force saving Europe and Latvia from the threats and darkness that Putin's Russian troops are bringing to the whole world. Together we can bring the victory of light closer and thus the peaceful future of Latvia,” said Osokins on why he continues to carry out various support actions for Ukraine.

In the campaign “Strength dose for Victory!”, funds are raised for meal kits, which include a complete meal, a bag of reagent that heats up in response to 50 ml of cold water and makes it possible to heat up this meal in frontline conditions without electricity or fire, as well as chocolate and muesli bars, a nut and raisin mix, a portion of oatmeal, bread, candy, tea, coffee, chocolate drink, antibacterial and plain napkins, and a spoon.

This campaign is a continuation of the “Hot Meals for Ukrainian Soldiers at the Front” campaign launched by Andrejs Osokins on Ziedot.lv last October, which is still ongoing and has already raised more than EUR 100 000, enabling 20 000 hot meal kits to be delivered to the front in Ukraine.
