"This is a war of two men, one fights for darkness and domination and death, the other fights for light, liberty, and love.

All the love in my heart and soul go out to the unbelievably passionate and courageous Ukrainian people and their inspired President. I am donating all the proceeds from sales of my newly released Recital CD, “LIVE FROM LENINGRAD, 1960” and “BYRON JANIS LIVE: ON TOUR” VINYL to Doctors without Borders and World Central Kitchen led by Jose Andres. Interestingly, The CD contains a Sonata by the American composer Aaron Copeland and The Funeral March Sonata by the great Polish Composer Frederic Chopin.

Ukraine and its citizens are showing the world the true meaning of Love. May we all learn it!”
