February 24 2022, war broke out in Ukraine. Millions of refugees from Ukraine are trying to escape the violence of war. My wife Krystyna Swerts her parents lived in Severodonetsk, now occupied by the Russians. So we were immediately intensely involved and started setting up aid campaigns. First, through a network in Ghent, we sent humanitarian aid camionettes over there. On 28 February, as a Belgian composer myself, I, Piet Jozef Swerts started artistic actions, such as composing a Peace Hymn as a peaceful protest, for symphonic and concert band, for piano four hands and for organ. All these materials are offered for free on the platform zodiaceditions.com to spread this message, not make people forget and continue to support, financially and morally. We also wanted to offer direct concrete help to mini-projects through direct contacts through my spouse Krystyna Swerts, because there is a need for support, especially in the west region. This is how Art4Ukraine came into being. Ultimately, this initiative became a mutual project of the Low Countries thanks to the engagement and involvement of Frank Lafort and the order of the Prince, Hulst, the Netherlands as well.
