Sewickley Methodist Church hosts the Fifth Benefit Concert for Ukraine on Wednesday, December 17th at 6:30pm. QED's Emily Brunner spoke with organizer Cheryl Redmond.

Cheryl talks about this concert's partner, Doctors United for Ukraine, a non-profit organization comprising Yale faculty, staff, and students who specialize in delivering humanitarian aid to foster the health and wellbeing of Ukrainian people in the face of war and its consequences. The program will feature Ukrainian folk songs and holiday music, performed by ten Pittsburgh Symphony musicians and three guest artists. There will also be a reception after the concert, with donated food, Ukrainian vendors, and a silent auction.
