Keys of Kindness is a benefit concert bringing together young musicians, classical music, and a shared commitment to supporting Ukraine.

This concert is organized by Yelena Balabanova, a concert pianist and founder of the International Conservatory. Yelena is originally from Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city deeply affected by the ongoing war.

Her students — gifted pianists ages 7–16 — are performing works by Frédéric Chopin in an intimate concert setting at Steinway Gallery Seattle. Through their music, they are raising funds and awareness for the people of Ukraine.

Proceeds from this event support Sunflower Network, a nonprofit providing direct humanitarian aid and recovery support to Ukrainian communities. Funds raised through this concert will help advance Sunflower Network’s current work to complete and deliver a new-build children’s hospital in Ukraine, a critical project expected to be operational in March.

In addition to the live concert, this campaign allows supporters everywhere to participate by listening, sharing, and donating. We invite you to read the story, listen to the music, and help turn art into action.
