Music dedicated to memory and life. Dmitry Kabalevsky's "Requiem" will be performed by the Governor's Symphony Orchestra and choral groups - as an auditory chronicle of the war era and a powerful humanistic manifesto. This is a rare opportunity to hear a grand composition in live performance. On the day dedicated to memory, in the Hall of the Chapel, a work of exceptional power will be performed - Dmitry Kabalevsky's "Requiem". This large-scale composition, written to the texts of Robert Rozhdestvensky, creates an image of tragic yet bright memory, in which there is pain, compassion, and deep faith in peace. The musical composition has become a true artistic document of the era. Its narrative structure - from life to death, from mourning to hope - unfolds like a poem addressed to everyone. Kabalevsky wrote: "This composition is written about the fallen, but addressed to the living... born of war, but all its being is directed towards peace." These words reflect the spirit and meaning of the upcoming concert perfectly. The work will be performed by the Saint Petersburg Governor's Symphony Orchestra - a contemporary of the Great Victory. The ensemble is performing as part of a jubilee marathon dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the end of the war, under the direction of Anton Lubchenko. Soloists and choral groups participating in the performance will be announced later, but it is already clear: we are expecting not an ordinary concert, but a special meeting with musical memory.
