The chamber hall with 80 seats turns the encounter with music into a home conversation: musicologist Larisa Efimova will simply and engagingly tell about the world of Rimsky-Korsakov - about the composer's childhood, his discoveries, and the character of his melodies. The soloists of the Choir and the Symphony Orchestra of the Chapel will show how familiar themes sound without textbooks and boredom. When the conversation about music is built without haste and loud formulations, the listener becomes interested more quickly. The chamber format with a limited number of seats will create a rare distorted impression - here the intonations, timbres, and breath of the ensemble will be heard, and the gaze will easily be held from beginning to end. Musicologist Larisa Efimova will tell about the composer calmly and accurately, connecting the facts of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's biography with observations about how his musical language was formed. The discussion will not be about dates and terms, but about the internal logic of sound - about how orchestral colors are born, how you remember the melody, and why the music of this author is so easy to remember. The live sound of the soloists of the Choir and the Symphony Orchestra of the Chapel will become a continuation of the story. Musical examples do not illustrate the words literally but develop them, giving clear characters, moods, and forms. Such dialogical words and sound help perceive academic music without distance and tension. Our website features the current program of St. Petersburg.
