Two bright compositions - the explosive piano concerto by Ravel and the monumental cantata by Orff - will be performed by the symphony orchestra and the choir of the Cappella. The program combines the expression of jazz and the grandeur of medieval poetry, creating an impression of a true musical triumph. The winter concert at the Cappella will unite two vibrant musical worlds. The first part of the evening will be dedicated to the Piano Concerto in G Major by Maurice Ravel - a work in which the French composer combined jazz intonations, Basque rhythms, and his own stylistic urgency. Energetic, light, and witty, this concerto was conceived as a kind of divertissement but became a true test for the performer. The soloist will be Alexey Vyakhirev, and at the podium will be conductor Ivan Stolbov. In the second part, the famous stage cantata by Carl Orff "Carmina Burana" will be performed, created based on medieval poetic collections. These poems of wandering poets from the 13th century celebrate the enjoyment of life, the transience of fate, excitement, and earthly pleasures. The composition includes five major sections, alternating choral scenes and solo arias, with the climax being the recognizable "O Fortuna" - a fierce hymn to fate, opening and closing the entire work. The program will feature the choir and symphony orchestra of the Cappella of St. Petersburg, as well as three soloists: Anna Kozachek (soprano), Vadim Tarakanov (baritone), and Mikhail Barashev (tenor). The emotional scope and contrast of the works make this concert captivating not only for connoisseurs of classical music but also for anyone who wants to experience true musical drama.
