A collaboration between composer Anna Pidgorna and pianist Anna Sagalova in partnership with the Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, "Inventions of Hope" is your chance to take part in the creation process while raising money for the medical needs of Ukrainian defenders.Anna Pidgorna will compose a collection of little piano pieces – inventions – for Anna Sagalova inspired by folk music from regions of Ukraine temporarily occupied by russian forces. Your donations will get your name into the musical manuscript and help us keep Ukrainian defenders alive.
On October 5 you'll be the first to hear the beginning of Anna Pidgorna’s new composition and have a chance to contribute to our fundraising. We will premiere the completed "Inventions of Hope" in February 2025 along with beloved inventions by J.S. Bach and contemporary inventions by Ukrainian composer Volodymyr Ptushkin and Canadian composer David Jaeger.
How much are we raising?
We have received 50% of the commissioning funds from the SOCAN Foundation to fund Anna Pidgorna's composition fee. We are raising matching funds of $2200 to satisfy the requirements of this grant. Anna Pidgorna will donate these matching funds towards the purchase of emergency medical supplies for Ukrainian defenders. So, everything we raise at the concert after expenses will go towards purchasing medical supplies.
We have also received generous support from the Shevchenko Foundation to present the complete "Inventions of Hope" project in a concert in February 2025.
What will your donations get you?

Choose a person or group to whom you want to dedicate the work. The piece will have a dedication like this under the title: “Dedicated to [name] with generous support by [name] with inspiration from [region].”
