The Kent United Church of Christ is hosting Jurji Fedynskyj, a Ukrainian American musician, as part of the Around the World Music Series on July 6.
Fedynskyj is originally from North Carolina but his parents are from Ukraine, who left the country to escape the Soviet oppression, according to a news release for the event. Following the downfall of the USSR, he felt compelled to return to his roots and moved back to Kyiv to pursue a career in music.
Since the Russian invasion of the country in February 2022, Fedynskyj decided to use his talent and join forces with other local musicians to travel around the country and perform at the hardest-hit cities for the soldiers fighting the war.
