A local composer is using the power of music to raise money for Ukraine.

James Norkawich is a musician, and composer who grew up in Fairfield County.

Norkawich says he was inspired by Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." He recorded his own rendition of the song while playing the piano.

Norkawich's version features Ellen Williams, a classically trained Welsh soprano vocalist from the UK.

The music video features images from Ukraine.
