A poignant soprano, exquisite piano, and genius composers - the program will feature vocal masterpieces from Bach to Puccini. The concert promises to be a musical revelation and provide listeners with an evening of pure emotions and artistic power. The uniqueness of the program will be emphasized by the refined selection of repertoire, while the tandem of experienced performers will create an atmosphere of deep immersion in the world of musical lyricism. The concert "Under the Sky of Music: Masterpieces of Vocal Lyric" is an evening filled with inspiration, beauty, and impeccable taste. On the stage of the White Hall of the Lermontov Library, two outstanding artists will perform - Maria Aplecheeva (soprano) and Anna Strom (piano). The program will include works by Bach, Handel, Schubert, Saint-Saëns, Puccini, as well as Russian romances by Bulakhov and Gurilev.

Each piece will become a living story told through voice and sound, emotion and imagery. Maria Aplecheeva is a laureate of international competitions, a candidate of art studies, a teacher, and an active performing artist. Her expressive soprano captivates listeners in Russia, the USA, and France. Anna Strom is a professor at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, a pianist with a rich solo and ensemble career. She has performed with the orchestras "Musica Viva", "Vivaldi", and has also toured Europe and the USA. The musical dialogues of the two masters of art are accompanied by vivid imagination, which will transport each listener into a world of delicate feelings and artistic depth. This event is not just a concert, but a reason to pause, reflect, and meet oneself and great art. The event is part of the "Silver Age" project, but it will be interesting for classical music lovers of all ages. The concert will provide moments of silence, inner delight, and a sense of belonging to the sublime.
