From the rubble of war to the spotlight of hope, the Color Music Choir — a group of refugee children from Ukraine — has captured the hearts of over 102 million viewers with their emotionally powerful rendition of Coldplay’s “Something Just Like This.”
Now based in Braunschweig, Germany, these kids aged 4 to 18 aren’t just singing — they’re healing, inspiring, and reminding the world of the resilience that music can build when all else seems lost.
