The powerful music and human rights project Daughters of Donbas – Songs of Stolen Children is set to tour Scotland this month. Highlights include performances at Celtic Connections on 28 January and St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh on 29 January.
The project is led by Ukrainian singer Marichka, winner of the Amnesty International Prize. She has been traveling back and forth between Canada and Ukraine, working on this music project that deals with the ~20,000 Ukrainian children that have been abducted from occupied regions in Eastern Ukraine and taken to Russia – and one of the few stolen Ukrainian children who managed to escape from Russia, a 19 year old named Liza will be part of the tour (she sings too).

Lisa, who sings and plays flute, is now 19 (and was 16 when she was taken from Mariupol). She kept a diary of her time in Russian camps.
