On January 10th, the Dnipropetrovsk Philarmonia hosted a festive Christmas concert to benefit the Dnipropetrovsk City Children's Hospital # 3. The concert featured the Philarmonia's Chamber Chorus directed by maestro Olha Puchkova, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral Choir under the direction of Rev. Viacheslav Marcenkov, renowned operatic soprano Halyna Kuzayeva and the Dolce String Quartet. Among the VIP guests were His Eminence Archbishop Ireney of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
