Folk melodies from various peoples of Russia will sound in a jazz interpretation by Alexey Chizhik's ensemble. Vibraphone, saxophone, double bass, and piano will connect Chuvash chants, Tatar rhythms, the vastness of Kazakh steppes, Lezgian motifs, and music from the Russian North in a vibrant improvisational program with a live narration by the host. This musical meeting is built on the connection between folk intonations and jazz freedom. National melodies from different regions and peoples of Russia will be presented in a modern instrumental version: familiar chants will retain their recognizable character but will receive a new rhythmic pattern, harmonic depth, and space for improvisation. The program will feature Chuvash chants, Tatar rhythms, Kazakh motifs, Lezgian energy, melodies of Karelians and Vepsians, as well as Russian folk themes. Such material is well revealed through a live ensemble: vibraphone, piano, saxophone, and double bass allow the folk music to be heard softly, volumetrically, and dynamically. The musicians of Alexey Chizhik's jazz ensemble work with tradition carefully, but do not turn it into a museum exhibit - the melodies here breathe, change, respond to each other, and sound close to the modern listener. A special role is assigned to the narration by the host Irina Chizhik. She will help trace where these musical themes came from, how they are connected to the culture of the peoples of Russia, and why jazz harmonies so naturally engage in dialogue with them.
