Ukraine's Cultural Forces Band Free "Tour of Thanks" Comes to Texas

HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seven Ukrainian soldiers, once celebrated musicians, have arrived in the United States to honor the American people's support and share their powerful message of resilience and freedom. These artists—some of whom returned to the front lines after recovering from combat injuries—include an opera singer, violinist, pianist, country singer, poet, and two bandura players – the symbol of Ukrainian music. Together, they deliver performances that span Ukrainian folk music, global classics, popular covers, and country melodies.
