Lysychansk is not a thriving city. It has been destroyed by war; it is dark, dismal, depressing, and less than 5 miles from the ‘front lines’. But for 130 children, hope was discovered, dreams were made, and dreams were fulfilled. These incredible children, over 95% of whom had never touched a musical instrument or sung, presented an astonishing concert. The Severodonetsk Philharmonic joined the children and were absolutely fabulous! The children cried at the end of the concert, not wanting the week to end. And many who had been skeptics were blown away by what these children accomplished! In 6 days, they learned and performed seven songs in four languages! The teaching team poured into these children so much love and encouragement, that the transformation took place right in front of our eyes!
