MakSim is returning to Sochi with a grand solo concert! The Russian pop legend is to perform at Red Arena on 9 March. That spring night, the audience will enjoy their favourite songs and MakSim’s greatest hits, which have been on millions of playlists for over 15 years.

Marina Maksimova, known to the public by the stage name MakSim, has won over her fans’ hearts with her emotion-filled songs where she wears her heart on her sleeve. “Do You Know?”, “The Awkward Age”, “My Paradise”, “I’m Letting Go” and “I’ll Learn to Fly” are songs audiences have long since learned by heart and start singing along from the second they hear the first chords. MakSim’s hits belong among the best works of Russian music culture and are an integral part of several generations’ lives. Frank songs about first love, growing up, hope and heartache resonate with audiences of all ages.

MakSim can boast an impressive list of achievements: she has gold and platinum albums, record sales, songs topping radio station charts, international recognition, and a whole lot of awards. School and university students know her songs, football fans chant them. Her songs are hummed in cars, played at parties, and family get-togethers; her songs are quoted with equal gusto by parents and their adult children alike; people who have long since stopped following new chart toppers still listen to MakSim. The secret of this universal love is simple: the singer does, indeed, wear her heart on her sleeve and speaks to her audience in the language of the heart, without embellishment or convention.

At her spring concert in Sochi, you will get to hear your favourite songs live and see the artist truly reinvent herself. Her upcoming concert is a story of resilience, love for music and boundless gratitude to her fans, who’ve been supporting her all these years.
