Hvorostovsky and Abdrazakov raise $1/2 million for sick kids
mainA joint charity concert they are giving tonight in Ufa has trawled in a phenomenal 30 million rubles.
Hvorostovsky has undergone treatment this year for brain cancer.
Ildar Abdrazakov said: ‘Last year a similar concert in Moscow, in the Kremlin, made 20 million rubles. In Ufa, we have raised half as much again – 30 million. I am so proud of my compatriots, and this not the final figure.’

Excellent work, both performers and donors.
Well done Maestri!
Thank you, Dmitry and Ildar! It’s so kind and generous what you have done, especially in the time when Dmitry Khvorostovsky is undergoing medical treatment himself. Get well, great baritone!
