The concert program is created especially for “Big Amber” and will be offered to listeners for the first time. In it, the artists will perform both the famous lyrical romances of Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, known to the listeners, as well as introduce the concert visitors to the development of the romance genre in Russian music literature to the present day.
“The concert will take place in two parts, each part drawing the line between classical and contemporary. The first part will feature Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and Glinka. In the second part we will delve into the special and sometimes experimental sound of Stravinsky’s music, as well as S , “the program is presented by a tenor Mikhail Chulpayev.
