The violins of the Bolshoi Theatre will sound as a single organism: from the sparkling "Flight of the Bumblebee" to the lyrical "Ave Maria" and the dark "Night on Bald Mountain." The program includes hits of classical music, excerpts from operas and ballets, virtuosic variations, and vocal pieces. There are concerts where every fraction of a second matters. The violins take the tempo - and the audience can literally hear the energy of the ensemble being born. The Bolshoi Theatre's violin ensemble will perform for the first time at the House of Music and celebrate its 70-year history on stage. The evening is structured as a panorama of classical music and theatrical hits. In two parts, Dvořák and Handel, Ravel and Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky, Schubert and Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Paganini will meet. Pages from operas and ballets, passacaglia and polka, waltz and romances will be performed, alongside numbers where speed of the bow and iron precision are crucial. "Flight of the Bumblebee" promises insane drive, "Night on Bald Mountain" will add drama, while "Ave Maria" and Vocalise will allow for a breath and to hear the beauty of the line. This concert is for those who love grand melodies and recognizable themes but are not ready to spend half an evening on complex explanations. It’s easy to start from scratch here: the program is assembled from pieces that grab you immediately. Connoisseurs will also find their own - rare combinations of composers in one evening and ensemble work where nuance, balance, and overall breathing pattern are important. The ensemble resumed its activities about ten years ago and actively tours; concerts take place on the New and Historical stages of the Bolshoi Theatre and in the regions. The ensemble bears the name of its founder - Yulia Markovich Reentovich. The repertoire today includes over 200 compositions and covers ancient music, popular classics, excerpts from performances, and film music. Ideas on where to go in Moscow are collected on our website.
