Tchaikovsky's music is not only about genius but also about magic. In the lecture "Visiting the Fairy Tale on the Eve of Christmas," you will learn how a simple scale gave birth to the main New Year's melody and why "The Nutcracker" became not just a ballet but a symbol of festive wonder. The festive mood often begins not with garlands and gifts but with the first sounds of music. Who among us does not associate December with Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker"? This ballet has become synonymous with Christmas not only in Russia but around the world. However, few know that at the heart of one of its most recognizable melodies lies... a simple scale. How did the composer manage to turn it into musical magic? Find the answer at the lecture "Visiting the Fairy Tale on the Eve of Christmas." The meeting is part of Ksenia Anufrieva's author series "The History of Music in Masterpieces." For other events in Nizhny Novgorod, check KudaGo.
