This concert will bring together youthful piano energy, chamber sensitivity, and the joy of first serious performances in one evening. On stage will be the students of Maria Kozharinova - musicians for whom each piece becomes a personal statement, and for the listeners, the evening will turn into a meeting with sincerity, warmth, and vibrant sound. In concerts featuring young performers, there is a special power - here, music sounds without distance, with utmost openness and the kind of excitement that cannot be faked. This evening from the series "Teacher and Students" will unite piano and chamber music performed by the students of Maria Kozharinova. For the listeners, it is a meeting with that very moment when mastery is just beginning to rise, but serious work, inner focus, and genuine love for art are already felt. The center will be occupied by young musicians who have prepared for the performance for a long time, and for whom stepping out to the audience is an important step forward. In such concerts, it is especially acute to hear how behind each phrase stand effort, patience, and a personal relationship with music. Familiar pieces in such performances reveal themselves anew: they have more freshness, immediacy, and living breath than in impeccably polished academic presentations. The figure of the teacher deserves special attention. Maria Kozharinova has gone through a serious professional path - she graduated from the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Music College, then with honors from the Saint Petersburg State Conservatory and an assistant internship, and today she teaches chamber ensemble at the M. P. Mussorgsky Music College. Therefore, this evening is also interesting as a result of continuity: the audience will see how school and experience transform into stage expression. We know what to see in Saint Petersburg.
