Music therapy by Ukrainian composer, virtuoso pianist Yevhen Khmara
29.01.2024
The Superheroes' School educational centre in Boyarka hosted a concert by virtuoso pianist Yevhen
Khmara, a real music
therapy for young patients and medical staff of the Kyiv Oblast Children's Hospital.
"When you work with children, it is very important to feel their needs. It's one thing to perform in a
shopping centre
where they have come to dance and have fun. It's another thing when children go through things that many
adults never
experience in their entire lives. Living in hospitals makes them more profound, it makes them different.
It turns out
that these children are more mature than some adults," comments Yevhen Khmara.
During the event, the children had the opportunity to listen to live instrumental music, take part in
various activities
and play the keyboard with Yevhen. It turned out that one of the superheroes loved music and knew a
little about the
instrument. By an amazing coincidence, his name is also Yevhen.
"Today it was very important that the children were really in the moment, they were not on their phones,
they wanted to
interact. I am very happy that instrumental music can be a therapy for them, healing and fulfilling.
What happened today
at the Superheroes School, what happens at my concerts for the military or at commercial events, I think
this is the
light that awakens," said the virtuoso pianist.
We thank our friends and partners 1+1 media for their help in organising the event.
