We’ve had Elton John and Queen give concerts in Ukraine to raise awareness of the dangers of AIDS.
This time, we have former U.S. President Bill Clinton coming to talk about the HIV virus that is spreading rapidly in Ukraine.
The 42nd U.S. president won’t sing. But Ukrainian celebrities will lend their lyrics to the occasion. Ani Lorak, Jamala, Tina Karol and Iryna Bilyk among others will hit the stage.
The concert is organized by the AntiAids Foundation, founded and run by Olena Pinchuk, former President Leonid Kuchma’s daughter. Her husband, billionaire Viktor Pinchuk, is a friend of Clinton, who will also deliver a speech at Pinchuk’s Yalta European Strategy forum starting Sept. 30.
Oct. 3, 4:30 p.m. Mykhailivska Ploshcha, www.antiaids.org/en. Free admission.
