Dasha Beets
‘Tribute to Bach & Rita Reys’
Two sets, one concert: before the interval, Dasha Beets presents Bach… because—Bach in contemporary arrangements, with poetry (translated by Dasha) and jazz/blues improvisations full of swing. After the interval comes Salute to Rita, an intimate tribute to the ‘First Lady of Jazz’ Rita Reys (†2013), with a personal selection from the American Songbook and excursions into bossa nova, Bacharach, the Beatles and chanson. Dasha released the album Salute to Rita on 8 May 2026.
