The final concert of the "Musical Expedition" took place in Vladimir. This project, unique for our country, is being held in the region for the second year in a row. On the results of the musical journey - Kristina Ivanova.

It was an experiment, and it was a success, say the organizers of the Musical Expedition project. Last year it all started with an unexpected idea to hold a concert on the ruins of Khrapovitsky's estate. It was liked not only by the viewer, but also by the musicians. So much so that this year world-famous artists again set off on a creative journey: Kovrov, Mstera, Gorokhovets, the Taneev family estate in Marinino and the village of Davydovo.

MARIA MEEROVICH, PIANIST:"Absolutely everyone had the opportunity to come to any concert. Due to the fact that it is in the open air. And it was so nice to see people who came from other places. And the same Vladimir, traveling around the villages is just a delight."

And the culmination of this delight is the final concert on Vladimir's Cathedral Square. The regional governor Svetlana Orlova personally congratulated the artists and guests of the holiday. The head of the region promised that such cultural events will definitely become traditional. The members of the "Expedition" are sure that the concert has already become one. The program is rich and unusual: it all started with the performance of classical pieces, and then a surprise awaited the viewer.

A crossover concert is a harmonious synthesis of classics with rock, pop and electronic music. Works by Bach with blues notes or Gershwin in jazz arrangement. This is not DJing, the musicians say no. This is the ability to subtly erase the border, leaving the unique sound of the classics.

One of the main guests of the festival was Georgy Yufa, a renowned cellist. Participant of the "Voice" show. In Vladimir, the artist not only played with the Governor's Orchestra, but also performed solo parts. According to Georgy (and he calls himself a student of Boris Andrianov), this format of the "Musical Expedition" is a godsend. To hear many of those who performed at the Musical Expedition venues, you often need to try to buy tickets and even fly to other countries.

GEORGE YUFA VIOLOCHELIST, SINGER:“I think this is simply necessary. People who were lucky enough to attend the concerts of the festival, perhaps, in a different situation, and could not attend. I would especially like to thank the artists of the orchestra, who today, in fact, spent half a day or even more here, on the site, in the wild wind and cold. And in general, I think this is a heroic and professional feat. "

The second "Expedition" succeeded, Boris Andrianov, the main organizer of the musical trip, is sure. It is already being called the record for the number of viewers. It is especially important that most of them, the author of the project emphasizes, are provincial listeners.

BORIS ANDRIANOV, CELLONCHELIST, AUTHOR OF THE "MUSICAL EXPEDITION" PROJECT:“I saw amazement on their faces, because it’s something unexpected. Absolutely. We played serious music, and we played in places where it had never sounded. And this discrepancy, inconsistency - it worked. And it was like this an experiment that worked wonderfully well, I think. "

ALEVTINA MALOVA, SPECTATOR:"Great idea. I was in Davydovo yesterday. It's just superb. It seems to me that bringing art to the masses is very cool."

What the route will be next year has not yet been decided. But they promised that "Musical Expedition" will definitely hit the road again.

The culture

On June 11, a unique event took place on the stage of the Philharmonic as part of the Platonov Arts Festival, in which world-renowned Vadim Repin, Sergei Nakaryakov and Maria Meerovich took part. According to organizers, tickets were sold out several months before the concert. The thing is that for the first time the musicians perform in the trio format.

Violin, piano and flugelhorn
The pianist Maria Meerovich and the trumpet player Sergei Nakaryakov have been giving joint concerts for eleven years. They were united with Vadim Repin by Johannes Brahms, or rather a trio written by him for piano, violin and French horn. Interestingly, Brahms originally planned to create an opera. While working on it, he often communicated with Turgenev. The opera was never written, but a wonderful trio appeared, to some extent the writing of which was inspired by our compatriot. Originally the French horn was the third instrument. In the concert, her part is played by Sergei Nakaryakov on the flugelhorn, a young instrument in classical music. “Sergei Nakaryakov has the skill to make a work interesting,” says Vadim Repin. The program also includes works by Robert Schumann, Francis Poulenc and Claude Debussy.

Antique or modern instruments?
In the course of communication with reporters, the musicians talked about their instruments, the boom of classical music and much more. Violinist Vadim Repin brought to Voronezh an instrument that is about three hundred years old. It was on this violin that Tchaikovsky's concerto was first played. Repin explained why musicians treat instruments with such awe. “The instruments are like our vocal cords,” he says. "Everyone has their own personality." Over time, a friendship develops between the musician and the instrument. It is interesting that, in contrast to violins, new instruments are preferable in wind instruments. The service life of the pipe is on average 30-40 years.

Concert = performers + empathetic audience
The musicians also noted the boom of classical music in Asia, especially in China. The thing is that now several outstanding performers have appeared there and aroused this very interest. The same process can take place in any other area. Several gifted personalities make something attractive to the public. In general, the musicians noted that the audience had become much younger. In Russia, according to Vadim Repin, there is an excellent balance in terms of the audience: it is quite spoiled and takes everything with interest. For a concert to really take place, there is little skill of the performers, an audience that has come to empathize is needed. The violinist also said that concerts in Russia are a priority for him. "After concerts in Russia, there are always fond memories."

Supporting young talents
All three performers got a taste of the stage in childhood. Vadim Repin told the press that he tries to meet with young people as often as possible, to give some master classes. It is impossible to teach something in two hours, but it is possible to set a vector of development, which is sometimes very important for young musicians. Within the framework of the festival in Novosibirsk, organized by Vadim Repin, the project "Children to Children" is being implemented, when young talents come on stage and play for children.

The musicians also noted the high level of the Platonov Arts Festival. Vadim Repin said that Mikhail Pletnev, who presented the residents of Voronezh with a unique piano concert, came from the capital of the Black Earth Region very enthusiastic.

I suggest listening to his recordings on youtube and I am sure that after that the listeners will rush to buy tickets. Sergei Nakaryakov will also give a recital together with pianist Maria Meerovich and I am sure that this will be a separate musical memory experience. The program of the Gala Concert is very diverse - from Beethoven's Fantasy for Choir, a colorful musical masterpiece, the forerunner of his 9th Symphony, to works by Pärt and Weinberg. Andres Mustonen weaved for us an unusual musical combination of choirs, soloists and a composer from Estonia together with an orchestra, composer and pianist from Israel.
