The Cappella Orchestra gathers a festive program from the bright pages of Offenbach, Massenet, and Rossini to Rimsky-Korsakov and Taktakishvili. On stage are soloists with clarinet, violin, and baritone, and the conductor leads the music lightly and ceremoniously. An evening for those who love the sparkle of melodies and live sound. There are evenings when the city seems to become lighter: there is more light in the air, and familiar little things come together to create a mood. This is exactly the effect of the festive program of the St. Petersburg Cappella Symphony Orchestra - a lively selection of melodies where each piece works like a bright gesture, a smile, or a subtle joke. At the center is a collection of famous composers: Jacques Offenbach with his theatrical brilliance, Jules Massenet and Camille Saint-Saëns with elegant lyricism, Gioachino Rossini - with energy and drive. Unexpected turns are added - from the pages of Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov to Taktakishvili and P. Tursunov. Such a route keeps attention and allows one to hear how differently academic music can sound when it is gathered into a festive kaleidoscope. On stage are soloists who add character to the concert: baritone Vladimir Celebrovsky, clarinetists Anton Dereza and Viktor Irshai, violinist Anton Chausovsky. Ivan Stolbov arranges the program so that the tempos change naturally: sometimes you want to hum along with an inner voice, sometimes just follow the line of the clarinet or how the violin illuminates the orchestral texture.
