Artem Vargafitik and the 'Hermitage' ensemble open up a wonderful world of sounds - with humor, passion, and a true love for classical music. The focus is on rare names, unexpected terms, and of course, the famous 'Carnival of the Animals'. Artem Vargafitik's musical encyclopedia is not a dry list of facts, but a real show where each letter of the alphabet becomes an opportunity for lively conversation and brilliant musical numbers. This time, the stage will be taken over by the letters Ж, З, И, К - and each will open a door to its amazing world. From refined baroque to the Brazilian passion of the 20th century - the program promises to be rich, unconventional, and very educational. The main voice of the evening is Artem Vargafitik, a journalist, musician, and popularizer of classical music, whose programs on television and stage are equally loved by audiences. He knows how to not only tell stories but also ignite interest in music. Together with the 'Hermitage' soloists' ensemble under the direction of Ilya Norstein, he takes on the ambitious task of making the encyclopedia of the musical world truly captivating. The audience will meet names that rarely sound on stage but deserve attention. For example, Antonio Carlos Jobim - the genius of Brazilian bossa nova, combining jazz and national rhythms. Jan Dismas Zelenka - a baroque composer whose music combines elegance and power. Friedrich Seitz - the author of virtuosic pieces for young violinists. Along with the music, concepts will be revealed: what is an intermezzo, what is special about the clarinet and double bass.
