An odyssey through 20th century European chansons

From the Russian cabaret artist Alexander Vertinsky to Edith Piaf via the music of the Comedian Harmonists in the early 1930’s, Daniel Donskoy will perform German, Yiddish, French and Russian chansons, accompanied by Inga Davis-Rutter and her trio. Each evening will also include guest performances by London’s most acclaimed West End performers.

A Song Goes Round the World is transferring from St. James Studio after its premiere in May 2016, that was received with great critical acclaim.

***** ‘Truly Magical’ – Views from the Gods

**** ‘An outstanding mastery’ – Jonathan Baz

Donskoy’s background is as eclectic as the programme of this evening. He was born in Russia and raised in 1990’s Berlin, before coming to London via several years in Tel Aviv. A Song Goes Round the World is Donskoy’s first solo show; further acting credits include BBC4’s Detectorists, the ITV1 Drama Victoria as well as playing Jim O’Connor in Tennessee Williams’ Glass Menagerie at Nottingham Playhouse.

“In times of uncertainty relating to the European Union, this is a chance to bring Europe together through music – even if just for one evening”, says Donskoy.

The evening will include songs from life in the poor Parisian faubourgs, Yiddish theatre tales of loss and joy, songs sung by Russian political prisoners of the Tsar, witty German cabaret and much more.

Collaborative Artists’ latest major production You Won’t Succeed On Broadway, If You Don’t Have Any Jews was nominated for Best Off-West End Production at the 2016 WhatsOnStage awards.

From Help Refugees’ mission statement:

“Help Refugees is not simply another aid organisation. We work where governmental and other non-governmental bodies can (or will) not, filling the gaps and providing emergency aid and vital services to those affected by the global refugee crisis. We act fast to get aid and services directly and immediately to the people who need it most by identifying the most effective grassroots groups, local people, individual volunteers and refugees themselves active in the crisis and providing them with funding and support, enabling them to focus their time and energy on the vital work they do every day. Help Refugees are also operational where needed across Europe providing our experienced teams to maintain quality services and uphold dignity for refugees.”

“For many years I have admired Idit as both a singer and a teacher of singing: she brings to all her musicmaking a lively professionalism and integrity, coupled with the gift of communication which inspires others to aspire to the same high standards. I have witnessed her in action as a teacher and have seen how quickly she can achieve positive results with committed students by pinpointing the specific areas of development relevant to each individual singer – the singers themselves are frequently surprised at the speed of their progress under Idit’s tuition. I enthusiastically recommend Idit as an exceptional teacher who commands international respect.”
