During the concert, a charity collection for the Armed Forces of Ukraine will take place — through donations and auctions. Part of the proceeds from each ticket will also be donated to support Ukraine.
On November 19, 2025, Tel Aviv will hear the voice that has become a symbol of new Ukrainian pop music.
In the Reading 3 hall, in the heart of the Northern Port, the long-awaited solo concert of Ukrainian singer KOLA “A Special Story About Simple Things” will take place — an artist whose music combines tenderness and strength, personal and collective, Ukraine and Israel.
Music that is felt
Her concerts are not just performances. They are a conversation with the audience, where words do not need translation.
When KOLA takes the stage, she doesn’t play a role — she lives through every line. Songs like “Salut papa,” “Millimeter,” “I’ll Wait,” and “Being Simple” sound as if they were written anew just for this evening.
Light, stage, rhythm, voice. Everything merges in a moment where time seems to stand still. This is why her listeners love her — for her honesty and the feeling that she sings not for you, but with you.
About the event
The concert will start at 21:30. Guests will be allowed into the hall from 20:30. The venue is the spacious and atmospheric Reading 3, with a sea view and soft acoustics, perfectly suited for a live voice.
Tickets range from 205 to 345 shekels. Prices depend on the sector, but the emotions are equally strong for everyone. Organizers expect a full house: the audience in Israel has been waiting for this performance for almost two years.
A singer impossible to forget
The artist’s real name is Anastasia Prudius. Born in Kharkiv, she started with TV shows but quickly went beyond formats. Her style is recognizable from the first notes: pure, without unnecessary embellishments, yet piercing.
Now KOLA is one of those shaping the new face of the Ukrainian scene. She writes lyrics, participates in production, creates meaningful music — not background, but lived. In her voice, you can hear not only lyricism but also the confidence of a woman who has endured trials and learned to remain bright.
The Israeli chapter
For Israel, this performance is special. KOLA is married to an Israeli, and Tel Aviv has become a city of strength for her. Here she feels close to people who know what it means to live on the edge of anxiety and hope.
Last year, when the singer first came to Israel, during one of her visits, the country came under attack. At that time, KOLA said: “I felt how pain and courage live side by side. Israel teaches you not to be afraid.”
This time she returns with a new program — not only musical but also human.
Charity and support for Ukraine
From the first days of the full-scale war, KOLA did not stand aside. Her name appeared not only in music charts but also in volunteer reports, where alongside artists were donation amounts and stories of those saved.
In the first months of the invasion, she, along with friends, collected humanitarian aid and personally delivered medicines and equipment to fighters on the front lines. In interviews, the singer admitted: “I couldn’t just sing. I wanted to do at least something — transport, collect, help.” At that time, she temporarily moved to western Ukraine to be closer to those who saved lives daily.
In the spring of 2023, KOLA performed in Kyiv at a charity concert, where she sang alongside Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. Their joint song “Don’t Ask” became a hymn of resilience and faith, and the proceeds went to purchase equipment for Ukrainian soldiers.
In the fall of 2023, the singer went on tour in Europe and the USA with other Ukrainian artists. These concerts raised over eighteen thousand dollars — the money was directed to support Ukrainian medics and aid funds for displaced persons.
Her most notable charity project at the end of 2024 was a million hryvnias she donated to purchase evacuation boats for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine’s scouts. This act was called “a gesture of a singer who is not afraid to take responsibility.”
Since then, every KOLA performance is accompanied by fundraising for Ukraine. She doesn’t turn it into slogans, doesn’t make loud speeches. She simply says from the stage: “We are together, and our strength is in this.”
Her upcoming concert in Tel Aviv continues this tradition: part of the proceeds and audience donations will be directed to help Ukrainian defenders and humanitarian initiatives. For the artist, this is not an action but a natural continuation of the path — music that heals and unites.
Music as gratitude
This concert will be an acknowledgment to those who support Ukraine and believe in the power of art.
Organizers confirmed that during the evening, a charity collection will be organized in favor of Ukrainian humanitarian projects. This is an informal but important part of the tour, which covers Europe, Israel, and the diaspora.
Thus, KOLA unites people separated by distances but connected by one melody — the melody of resilience and love.
Why you should be there
Tel Aviv is used to stars, but KOLA has a different light — not spotlight, but internal. Her concerts remain in memory not because of decorations, but because of feelings.
This evening promises to be a meeting of two worlds — the Ukrainian heart and the Israeli sea. And it is in Reading 3 that they will merge into one breath.
