The festive program will connect the music of three Christian denominations, Christmas hymns, and compositions by great composers. The organ will be performed by Timur Khaliullin - the music of Bach, Messiaen, Grechaninov, and Tchaikovsky will create a rich sound of light, faith, and winter magic. The festive concert on December 25 is dedicated to the musical interpretation of Christmas through the prism of the organ tradition. The program unites compositions by composers from different eras and denominations - Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy, creating a unified sound in which each note carries the symbolism of the bright holiday. Organist Timur Khaliullin is a laureate of international competitions, a soloist of the Belgorod Philharmonic, and one of the brightest performers of his generation. On this evening, he will perform both traditional Christmas hymns and works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Olivier Messiaen, John Fletcher, John Johnson, Alexander Grechaninov, and Vladimir Odoyevsky. Excerpts from Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" will also be heard, in an unusual interpretation on the organ. This combination of works gives the listener the opportunity to feel how differently musical cultures reflect the same theme - the anticipation of a miracle, inner peace, solemnity, and joy. The flowing organ timbres, soft transitions, sound arches, and festive motifs encompass the entire spectrum of Christmas imagery - from meditative silence to a majestic hymn.
