but my health is definitely in danger. i have relatives there and the regime is very upset about us and they want to revenge the terrorizing. not only the protestors themselves, but their relatives as well. the thing about lucas jenko is that he never ever forgives. 0 one member who chooses to dispense with the mass has choir director, galena kazi, mit of sky. the regime and belarus already knows her identity and has detained and interrogated her. she found the choir with like minded singers when unrest 1st swept bella. ruth, in 2020. it's a mile course. nadine in the plaza when you can kick me. so for months we turned to the st. louis almost every day. beat it for a moment. let us games we flash mobs and performances that is your ellis. so the people in ballers could hear us every day getting what castell, at the quick quickly we, i'm

a well known choir that everybody wanted to hear and everyone loves fellas overcharged in us. that people started learning our songs. so my sticky, they saw us as a symbol of the valley ruffian resistance and the best selling us the government came looking for as enough. they literally hunted death down. oh, nation did shifted with her or her sales for the piece by olga put guys kaya for the beethoven fest. the composer follows progress closely. she herself is living an exile in warsaw and getting by giving organ concerts and music lessons. she's afraid to return to bella bruce. ah, daniel, because i can't go back to valerie right now. please. i'm being harassed. my music is band, so i'm living in poland. the piece is dedicated to the bell ruffian dissident,

maria coll, yesenia kava, who became known, enrolled over in 2020 for her courage and the vanguard of the uprising. remember tatiana homage the dissidence sister has come for the concert? often it will be the 1st time shows you the composition for maria, herself, a flute player. oh, long glue. the title is the sky of mary. mushy. was no common maria. i have known each other for a long time. we study together at the conservatory, along with my husband, joshua group in law. tatiana brought some letters. her sister sent her from prison, and bella russo, how she stays in contact with the outside world. since january 9th, 2022, she's in a correctional colony in goldman. it's a city close to ukraine. she writes a lot of thoughts about ideas, how people survive her hold. people leave these 2 years in different circumstances

mm. just like the free quire from belarus, these ukranian musicians are unwavering in their resistance against the russian war of aggression menacing their countries, cultural identity and existence. it wants to silence an entire generation of a training artist, but they aren't about to give up commercial, sorry now they swore his 2 sides for art lamasta's for a chance to open ukraine of to europe. and show it's like been shuttlecock and 2 because 8 the shadow russian arch i yeah. the shadow i kosky repl, coffee of shostakovich that with this, between takeoffs go up record here was the quarter because at the national training composers are taking center stage the case yet you entered the chem cookies. if we may have never had this opportunity received such interest with the swore you call him the malibu more hate the coin threat course from the side to word so it is
