Cultural Forces is an association of Ukrainian artists who played professionally before the war. They now play concerts on the front line, in military hospitals, in units of rescuers, and in de-occupied Ukrainian cities, with the goal of raising morale and building cultural bridges. They are currently on a forty-day US tour to thank the American people for their sustained support.
