Special thanks to CAMI Music for its generous support of this event." Insert 2: "Olena Zelenska, First Lady of Ukraine. I am grateful to Carnegie Hall and to every person in the United States for their support of people in Ukraine. The Olena Zelenska Foundation is working to transform this support into systemic help for millions of Ukrainians whose lives have been affected in the aftermath of the full-scale Russian invasion. The war against Ukraine leaves civilians without electricity and heat in the face of winter. It bombs hospitals and schools. It turns childhood into orphanhood. It aims at life itself. Ukraine has resisted it for almost a year now. Unfortunately, the longer the war goes on, the more people become its victims, and the more support they need. We recover people's lives through humanitarian aid, medicine, and education to make the entire country's future possible.
