Her repertoire includes songs in English, French and Spanish among other languages, allowing her powerful performances to extend far beyond the borders of Russia. She has performed in several artistic cities including Rome and Paris. Moreover, she has worked with musical legends such as Mireille Mathieu and Andrea Bocelli.
“Singing Arms”, a group of gestural singers with hearing impairment from St. Petersburg, will also take part in Zara’s concert.
