Closing of the organ festival at the Mariinsky Theatre - a musical journey through the centuries. Bach will be performed in delicate arrangements, while the temperamental 'Carmen' will be presented in an unexpected version for organ and percussion. Rare sounds and strong emotions await you. The closing of the XIII International Organ Festival 'Mariinsky' promises to be a musical event with character. That evening, listeners will embark on a journey through different eras and styles - from baroque strictness to emotional avant-garde. All this will be performed live by recognized masters: organist Leonid Karev, flutist Maria Fedotova, and percussionist Andrey Khotin. The program is built on a dialogue between tradition and experiment. In the first part of the concert, works by Johann Sebastian Bach - the great architect of sound, whose preludes, fugues, and chorales have remained relevant for three centuries - will be performed. Works will include unexpected arrangements: a trio sonata in a version for flute, the chorale prelude 'Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ', and miniatures from the orchestral suite BWV 1067. These compositions are like the breath of time itself, both solemn and piercing. The second block of the program is a surprise even for seasoned listeners. The 'Carmen Suite' by Rodion Shchedrin, based on the opera by Georges Bizet, is not just an arrangement, but a rebirth of the famous music. In the transcription for organ and percussion created by Leonid Karev, the temperamental 'Carmen' sounds like in none of the known versions. The instrumental solution adds sharpness, drama, and rhythmic freedom - this is a 'Carmen' you definitely haven't heard.
