A special program has been prepared exclusively for this concert: favorite texts, fresh poems, premieres, and songs/compositions in a live chamber sound. Why you should go unique festive program for one evening; a duet of poet and composer, performing together for many years; their joint projects have resonated on charitable and literary stages across Europe, including London, where Polozkova presented a new book in collaboration with Manotskov - the live format of "voice + piano/electronics" creates that very closeness between the audience and the stage.
