In the Alfred Schnittke Hall, live gospel will be performed by the Sunny Side Singers under the direction of Olga Oleinikova. The multi-voiced performance, elements of jazz and rhythm and blues, theatrical mise-en-scènes, and live solos create a vibrant show where the spiritual roots of the genre connect with the drive of the modern stage and a sense of celebration. Gospel rarely sounds in Russian halls as grandly as in the performance of the Moscow choir Sunny Side Singers. This collective works with a genre that intertwines spiritual Christian tradition, bluesy intonations, rhythm and blues, and folk motifs from the Southern United States. On stage, all these layers come to life in the format of a bright choral show, where voices, movement, and light come together in a single, carefully constructed pattern. The collective is known for its ability to master various styles-from gospel and rock to folk. Under the direction of choirmaster Olga Oleinikova, the artists work as a single organism: choral blocks alternate with solo fragments, and the dynamics shift from intimate confessionality to powerful climaxes. At one moment, the audience hears soft, almost whispering harmonies, and in another-an energetic rhythm that involuntarily makes them start moving to the beat. Sunny Side Singers regularly perform on large stages and collaborate with well-known Russian artists. Their track record includes joint concerts with the band
