The concert will feature LA musicians and creatives who are passionate about the cause and will include a variety of orchestral and chamber works by Ukrainian composers among other traditional repertoire.

The music the Orchestra will perform includes Mykola Lysenko's epic Overture to opera Taras Bulba, Myroslav Skoryk's staple Melody, Plyve kacha (The duckling swims) - a Ukrainian folk song that became very popular since the protests at Kyiv's Maidan Square in 2013-2014, music by Ukrainian classical composer of Mozart's time Maksym Berezovsky, as well as full orchestra versions of popular Ukrainian songs Chervona Ruta (Red rue), Ya Pidu v Daleki Hory (I will go to the far mountains), Kyive Miy (My Kyiv) among other orchestral music. Myroslava Khomik, an American-Ukrainian violinist, will play solos with the orchestra. A special treat will be a performance of a duo of Los Angeles Philharmonic's principals, flutist Denis Bouriakov and bassoonist Whitney Crockett, who will perform an "Aria" from Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos's Bachianas Brasileiras No. 6. 

The fundraising concert is part of the arts initiative event that will also present a two-day exhibit and a silent auction of artworks by LA-based professional artists Julia Gasio, Lado Goudjabidze, Marlene Greenberg, Victor Makohonenko, Juri Koll, Nik Le Skela, Yuriy Viktiuk organized by Victor Makohonenko.
