A word from our treasurer Alex Gamota

Seasons Greetings!

What a year!

2025 has been groundbreaking and memorable for Vira + Friends

on many fronts.

Our growing community of audiences, artists and

collaborating organizations saw the formation of Ukrainian Music Initiative, the American launch of a celebration of women composers past and present and new concert/cabarets including

Opportunity Knocks: songs and stories of people finding their way.

Bringing people together

to enjoy the live performance of music written for voice and piano

has been the mission of Vira + Friends since its founding.

Today, it is a multiform concert series

developing audiences for classical music and providing a

platform for composers traditionally neglected by the Western canon.

We couldn't do any of this without you!

Please help keep our mission going and reach new communities

throughout the US and internationally

by making a donation to Vira + Friends.
