On December 9, 2023, Kyiv plunged into the magic of music and philanthropy as Ukrainian sensation Nadia Dorofeeva took the stage for a solo concert at Stereo Plaza. The audience, comprising over three thousand fans of various age groups, witnessed a spectacle. Among the attendees were star guests, including Misha Lebiga, Lachen, singers KOLA, Dasha Mayorova, and the producer of “The Voice of the Country” and “Dancing with the Stars,” Volodymyr Zavadyuk.
The highlight of the singer’s concert was a charity auction aimed at supporting the 12th Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine, known as “Azov.” Items up for sale were contributed by the star-studded guests.
To warm up the atmosphere before the show, the artist’s protege from “The Voice of the Country-13,” Edgar Yenokyan, a member of the band “Dobryva,” took the stage. Following this, actor Zhenya Yanovich appeared on stage, orchestrating a lively auction with four lots intended for a charitable contribution to the needs of the “Azov” regiment. Before the auction began, a video from the brigade’s fighters was shown, appealing for financial support.
Nadia Dorofeeva herself graced the stage after a 40-minute auction, opening with her energetic hit “Kokhayu, ale ne zovsim” (I Love, But Not Completely). After performing several songs, the singer greeted the audience and sincerely thanked the Armed Forces of Ukraine for allowing her to hold the concert.
Unexpectedly, a secret guest with “Dorofeeva’s ears” appeared on stage during the concert. Eventually, it was revealed to be the family friend of Dorofeeva and Katsurin, renowned blogger Anton Ptushkin. He conducted an auction and raffled off the rabbit ears from the singer’s music video for an incredible sum of 2 million hryvnias.
The entire show was filled with vibrant performances and new compositions, such as “Khay pishut” and “Votsap.” The celebrity also invited Max Barskih to join her on stage for a collaborative rendition of “Rhythms,” showcasing a unique blend of talents.
During the concert, Dorofeeva engaged in a duet with her husband, Misha Katsurin, and their performance of the hit “Schob ne bulo” (So There Wouldn’t Be) touched the hearts of the audience.
The final chord was struck with the song “Dumi” (Thoughts), which the audience sang in unison with the artist. While the main part of the concert concluded, fans couldn’t let go of Dorofeeva. Therefore, the performer returned to the stage twice for encores, impressing the audience with the hits “Kokhayu, ale ne zovsim” and “Khay pishut.” Heart-shaped confetti showered the hall, concluding the incredibly emotional show.
For the grand finale, the singer, as tradition dictates, performed the anthem while wrapped in the flag of Ukraine. Dorofeeva emphasized the values of life, the importance of support, and once again expressed gratitude to all defenders.
In total, the singer raised 3 million hryvnias during the auction.
