The concert will feature academic music for cello, inspired by folk motifs. The evening will unite serious stage and folkloric images, virtuosic performance and heartfelt warmth. Students and a teacher from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory will participate. Music based on folk tradition can be bright, piercing, and deeply lyrical. A chamber concert will take place at the Central Library named after M. Yu. Lermontov, where academic cello music will be presented in a folk style - with intonations of folklore, melodies, rhythms, and vivid images. The performance will include compositions by both domestic and European authors: from Rachmaninoff, Kabalevsky, and Rakov to Schumann, Casado, and Popper. The program will be complemented by works of Bazeler and Tsintsadze - composers who worked particularly sensitively with national musical themes. Despite the chamber ensemble - cello and piano - the concert promises to be rich, contrasting, and multifaceted. Performers will include laureates of all-Russian and international competitions, students of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory. The concert will not only demonstrate technical mastery but also provide an opportunity to hear how young musicians interpret the rich folk heritage through the prism of academic performance. The evening will take place with the participation of A. V. Ivanov - the dean of the orchestral faculty of the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory. His students Smirnova E., Veios D., Vyarchiev P., Udachina A., and Nefedova E. will perform solo and ensemble pieces. For everyone interested in modern performing arts and who loves folk musical aesthetics, this is a rare opportunity to hear subtle arrangements deeply rooted in cultural memory.
