Bay Area music students are organizing a Saturday recital to raise funds for Ukraine...
Savanich and many of the students participating in the recital are students of Margaret-Mary Hunter, a professional musician who teaches advanced high school students, and at Music Moves Violin Studio, operated by Shulamith Barbe, an instructor in violin and viola who teaches private lessons for junior high school students in the Clear Creek district., approached her expressing their thoughts and feelings about the war, and Hunter recognized a potential teachable moment.
“It captivated me,” Savanich said. “They were showing things I’ve only seen in textbooks. Seeing pictures of innocent kids, families underground … it broke my heart that this is still going on and that this is still a thing. It hit me hard, and it was a lot to process.” Following the encouragement from Hunter and Barbe, who brought her own pupils on board, Samanich began to research music for the performance.
Barbe, who helped with the music selection, said no one wanted the recital to be somber, and most of the songs chosen derive from Ukraine’s folk tradition.Barbe came to the United States in 2005 from the Netherlands; so she understands what it means to be in proximity to conflict. “She’s in touch with her friends, and they text her when they have to hide underground, and its heartbreaking for her,” James said of her daughter.
Also performing will be Savanich’s stand partner, Anisa Roshan-Zamir, with whom he alternates between first and second violin at Clear Falls. Roshan-Zamir’s mother is from Romania, a country that has its own history of hard-won independence from Russian control.
