Scottsdale Arts has announced that $6 of every ticket sold to classical pianist Daniil Trifonov’s upcoming concert will be donated to World Central Kitchen’s humanitarian relief work, providing food and sustenance for refugees fleeing Ukraine.

“While our hearts go out to the millions of people impacted by this war, we believe that the arts can help unite us and heal us,” Dr. Gerd Wuestemann, president and CEO of Scottsdale Arts, shared in a statement. “Hosting this Russian-born, world-class artist and collaborating with him to raise funds for Ukrainian refugee relief is a wonderful way in which we can do our part to help.”

Trifonov, a Grammy-winning pianist, has ascended in the classical music world as a solo artist, champion of the concerto repertoire, chamber and vocal collaborator, and composer. He performs at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E. 2nd St.

The concert has taken on new meaning.

As refugees continue to flee Ukraine, the arts community is doing its part to support humanitarian aid operations. Scottsdale Arts supports this effort to help those in need.

“José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen has an extensive track record of providing help quickly and efficiently to refugees in need,” Wuestemann stated. “We are proud to work with this organization to ensure that refugees — forced to flee from their homes — can at least receive meals and nutrition.”

Trifonov’s album “Transcendental” won the 2018 Grammy for Best Instrumental Solo Album. He was named Musical America’s 2019 Artist of the Year. And The Times of London has called him “the most astounding pianist of our age.”

This performance is part of the Virginia G. Piper Concert Series and is supported by the Dayton Fowler Grafman Endowment for Classical Music.
