Concerts like this, they get planned for a long time and you're thinking, you're dreaming about it. Now I'm so excited we can speak together about this program. Yeah, when it's just a couple of weeks before the concert, you know, you're feeling a little bit of pressure to make sure that everything comes out just as you envisioned it from day one. Make sure things work out your way. We're very excited as the Brandywine Valley Symphony. We have not performed in Carnegie Hall before, so this is a debut for us. It's just a great opportunity to show what we can do and to have this wonderful collaboration. For our upcoming Season 7 alumni episode, we are welcoming back pianist Anna Shellist. This time, she is

joined by her Shellist Piano Dio partner, Dimitri Shellist, and maestro Michael Hall, artistic director of the Brandywine Valley Symphony. Together, they take us behind the music of their October 18 concert at Carnegie Hall. So Ukrainian Cultural Festival is organized by Ukrainian charity Razum for Ukraine. An idea is really to introduce Americans to broad Ukrainian culture. You have all different art forms. There are films, there are theater productions, there are music concerts. This year we are opening at Carnegie Hall. Music and art form in general is such a beautiful way to keep reminding people of someone's existence without necessarily evoking the tragic feelings. Steel, Violet, Rage at Carnegie Hall. This special episode

brought to you by the Alexander M. Bono Foundation premieres tomorrow, Tuesday, October 6th at 8 p .m. Eastern Time. Join us for the premiere, then see the concert on October 18th at Carnegie Hall. Ticket link in the description. See you soon.
