Blockchain technologies will help raise money for training Ukrainian talents

the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has been going on since 2014, became full-scale in February 2022. Since then, many talented Ukrainian artists, painters, and musicians working with foreign audiences have been doing countless charity projects to help all Ukrainians affected by Russian aggression. This also applies to collaborations with cryptocurrency companies.

Ukrainian pianist Anna Fedorova initiated a collaboration with the Swiss tech company DCM Swiss (Digital Content Marketplace) as part of the Verbier Festival 2022 international classical music festival. The goal of the project is to collect enough donations to train talented children musicians from Ukraine. In order to increase the number of donations and raise the necessary sums for the children’s education, Anna turned to blockchain technology and NFT. Thus, the partnership with DCM Swiss consists of creating and promoting an NFT collection.

The NFT collection «For Ukrainian Talents» demonstrates the support of Ukrainian children by people from all over the world. Currently, the collection consists of 11 cities (the list is growing), original audio recordings of children playing classical music, and an exclusive excerpt from a recording of Rachmaninoff’s Second Concerto performed by Anna Fedorova.

«The annual tuition fee is 8,500 euros. As the war is not yet in sight, we are raising funds to give young Ukrainian musicians a perspective for the future. You all have my personal word that not a single penny will be spent on anything other than helping these torn, but very talented and brave children. Please buy the NFT and you will find inside exclusive photos and recordings of these children, as well as a recording of my live performance.» — said Anna.

Yulia Zolotarenko, co-founder of DCM Swiss and a Ukrainian by birth, said: «DCM Swiss is proud to launch this global campaign in collaboration with the brilliant Anna Fedorova. We are delighted to help children who have fallen victim to this unforgivable conflict to continue their education by studying classical music. We are happy to give them an opportunity for the future.»
