Three concerts, as well as three lectures and one public talk will fit in three festival days on the New Stage of the Alexandrinsky Theater. The program turned out to be unusual, consisting of works performed not so often. For example, the concert part of the festival will open with the performance of works by Leonid Desyatnikov. Among them will be music from films (from "Giselle Mania" and "His Wife's Diary" by Alexei Uchitel to "Moscow Evenings" by Valery Todorovsky and "Moscow" by Alexander Zeldovich), as well as the vocal cycle "Love and Life of a Poet" to the words of Daniil Kharms and Nikolai Oleinikov, who gave the name to the whole concert. Alexei Goribol and Roman Sumbulov will play the piano this evening, and tenor Taras Prisyazhnyuk will be responsible for the vocal parts.
The second concert evening will be marked by the performance of consort Gamajun and choral music, the unifying theme will be an escape to beauty and an attempt to hide from reality in reflections and dreams about it. The works of Mikhail Glinka, Benjamin Britten, Hildegard von Bingen, Hugo Distler, Georgy Sviridov and Elliot Carter will help in this.
The program will end with a solo concert by pianist and composer Riad Mammadov called "Skryabin, jazz and mugham", which makes it clear that different styles and eras will intertwine in new and rather unexpected than familiar combinations.
As for the lecture part, it will be attended by musicologist Yaroslav Timofeev, no less famous as the keyboard player of the OQJAV group , an expert in cultural communication Eduard Karyakin, Anna Vilenskaya, who skillfully connects the world of academic music with the modern world in her YouTube lectures, and also music critic Sergey Privalov, whose pseudonym Karl Buratinovich is familiar to everyone who is interested in the musical news of the two capitals.
