Carol Daly, Principal of the Cork ETB School of Music, stated “through this musical offering, we want to bring not just practical support for Ukraine, but to communicate some joy by doing what the students and staff do best. So, make sure you call to see us from 4.30 pm on 2nd June to experience the amazing talents that this School of Music has to offer”.
As we see the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time unfold before our very eyes we feel as helpless as the rest of the world does. As musicians, both teachers and students alike, we feel that the greatest contribution we can make is through our art and our time. There is strength and unity in music. It is a universal language that transcends politics and violence. “Music expresses what cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent” – Victor Hugo.
