ANNA MARIA Revealed Secrets of Their Upcoming Album at a Solo Concert at Atlas Club

The best proof that a concert is worth seeing is the number of people waiting at the door: on June 11, a long queue formed outside Kyiv's Atlas club ahead of the ANNA MARIA concert. For that very reason, the show started almost an hour late. ANNA MARIA appeared before the audience in a highly unusual way. The screen showed footage of Anna and Maria walking down the street toward Atlas — singing as they went. “The audience was thrilled! The broadcast continued right up until ANNA MARIA entered the hall and made their way to the stage. It made clear from the start that this concert would have no traditional ‘artist versus audience’ divide — the music would come first, and everyone would be in it together,” the organizers reported. That evening the stage saw many premieres — songs from ANNA MARIA's new album, whose title and release date are still being kept secret. The sisters also delighted the audience with songs they have already come to love. “The crowd never tired, never stopped dancing, and showered Anna and Maria with generous applause after every song. And no wonder!” the organizers declared. Charismatic musicians, great songs, visuals prepared specially for each track, and the incredible energy radiating from the sisters and everyone on stage — all of it swept over the audience in a huge wave of emotion and didn't let go until the very finale! The audience was especially struck and moved by the acoustic performance of “Trymai Mene” (“Hold Me”), for which ANNA MARIA invited pianist Yevhen Khmara, violinist Matvii Myronov, and cellist Denys Karachevtsev on stage.

In the first half of the concert, the sisters' looks were boho-chic — a style that reflects their freedom and mood like nothing else. Then Anna and Maria left the musicians alone on stage and reappeared a minute later in new outfits — stylish, simply cut dresses. “It was very touching when the sisters began to sing “Shukav Svii Dim” (“Searching for a Home”). Not many people knew it is a song by the band Skryabin. Anna and Maria noted that they deliberately chose a track from Kuzma's early work. The climax came when the sisters performed Queen's “Somebody To Love,” which seemed to finally unite the whole hall and lift everyone to their feet. After that, Anna and Maria called the musicians out and took the traditional bow. The audience refused to leave and insistently demanded an encore. The sisters didn't keep them waiting and came back out to their fans. First one of them picked up a guitar, and the other announced they would sing a song written just the day before the concert. The audience loved this revelation,” the concert organizers added. And then “Tvoie Misto” (“Your City”) rang out once more — a magnificent finale to the ANNA MARIA concert.
