Ukrainian singer JAMALA will perform in Doha, Qatar. Accompanied by the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, she will present her album of Crimean Tatar songs, QIRIM. The concert is scheduled for November 7.
“The QIRIM album is a whole universe of music traveling to Qatar to shine alongside the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra and soloists, in a place where our music has never been heard at this level. Without exaggeration, I call this true cultural diplomacy at the highest and most powerful level. For me, it is a great responsibility and a great honor,” JAMALA said.
