Sharing love ahead of Valentine’s Day is a concert taking place Feb. 3rd at the Lakeshore Trinity United Church where proceeds are going towards Ukrainian relief.
“We strongly believe in community,” said Maryna Krejcarova who will be singing on Saturday. “We could help each other by attending this concert.”
“Plus it is the great opportunity to bring your love ones or come alone,” she added. “To enjoy beautiful classic masterpieces.”
Krejcarova has been raising funds to help those affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“Since the war started I decided to use my voice to help others,” she explained. “My concerts bring people together.”
Performing since 3 years old, Krejcarova grew up with music.
“My parents back in Ukraine have created family band,” she said. “I was enjoying to sing and travel every weekend.”

Tickets are available at the door — the concert starts at 4 p.m.
“These charming songs,” said Krejcarova. “Can always soften one or two hearts.”
