About this Event
On March 28, St. Volodymyr's Institute transforms into a speakeasy where jazz, Cajun and traditional Ukrainian folk music join forces in support of a women’s shelter in Ukraine, featuring Louisiana-style dance band Swamperella, the acclaimed Tymish Koznarsky Jazz Quartet, and the vocal group Sing with Ukraine.
Password to gain entry at the door: BUDMO!
In addition to music and dancing, expect theme Molotov Cocktails, traditional Ukrainian food, a silent auction, items for sale, and even ancient Ukrainian fortune telling. It’s an underground event, so expect some surprises. Tickets can be purchased either through Eventbrite or at the door for $20, $40, or $60, with larger donations accepted at the door.
About the shelter: The shelter is located in a village in western Ukraine and houses about 25 women, some with their children and parents, who have fled Russian occupation in the Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Ukrainians who remain in occupied territories face torture, deportation to Russia, and death. Funds raised will go toward renovations of the former office building in which the shelter is located.
This venue is fully accessible.
