During the pandemic, Oregon musician Amelia Lukas originally set out to create a music program that reflected her thoughts about Portland's homelessness crisis and the idea of what it means to have a home. But after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, she found herself pivoting the concert to focus on the ongoing conflict. Three years after she began the project, Lukas will premiere her newly evolved music concert, now titled “Natural Homeland: Honoring Ukraine,” at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Northeast Portland on Thursday.
