 Bryan Ferry broke into the London music scene in 1971 leading the innovative Pop Art band "Roxy Music", and his voice has been making women dizzy ever since. Of that voice, Rolling Stone said it is “a quavering, vulnerable tenor that can shift from totally-over-it to totally lovesick in a single elided phrase.” While his tenure as the frontman for the legendary "Roxy Music" remained his towering achievement, singer Bryan Ferry also carved out a successful solo career which continued in the lush, sophisticated manner perfected on the group's final records. He released eight albums together with the band "Roxy music", three of which occupied the top of various British music charts during different periods of time and 24 singles as well. After the band’s breakup Bryan Ferry released 12 albums and 39 singles on his own - his successful solo career continues to the present day. The artist's concerts arouse excitement worldwide attracting thousands of fans regardless the place of the concert's staging. Read more

 Novaya Rossiya Symphony Orchestra, conductor Claudio Vandelli (Italy), Yurlov Capella Choir, Children Choir of Bolshoy Theatre together with Irina Kostina (soprano), Yury Rostotsky (tenor) and Andzhey Beletsky (baritone) will perform Brahms, "Song of Destiny" for Choir and Orchestra and Orff, Carmina burana. Legendary cantata "Carmina Burana" - the most famous work by the German composer Carl Orff twentieth century. Written in 1937, the cantata today amazes the audience and its monumentality (as on an enormous part of the orchestra, and duration) and, at the same time, its artistic democracy, surprisingly combines the "seriousness" of the academic genre and its brightest sverhobraznuyu supply. Songs of Beuern (it's the translation of Carmina Burana) are the monument to secular art of the Renaissance. Cantata plotline is vague and associative. Song and orchestra parts represent contrast scenes from diverse and miscellaneous life. One sings of the sweets of life, happiness, unrestrained fun, beauty of nature in spring, passionate love; another one - hard life of monks and vagrant students. But the basic philosophical core is contemplation about changeful and puissant human destiny - Fortune. Italian conductor Claudio Vandelli studied piano, clarinet and conducting in Milano, his birth town. He then studied clarinet with Antony Pay and conducting with Sergiu Celibidache and Carlo Maria Giulini, among others.

 Moscow City Symphony “Russian Philharmonic”, Conductor Dmitry Yurovsky together with Alexander Sinchuk (piano) will perform Sergey Rachmaninov's Piano concertos # 2 and 3, Symphonic Dances. Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninov was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. He was one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, very nearly the last great representative of Russian late Romanticism in classical music. Early influences of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and other Russian composers gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom that included a pronounced lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity, and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors. The piano features prominently in Rachmaninoff's compositional output. He made it a point to use his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works, he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody. Alexander Sinchuk is a Laureate of International Piano Competitions, “… A bright, emotional, powerful pianist. Along with these mighty qualities he does not lose exquisite, soulful lyricism. His style resembles that of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Alexander is captured by Rachmaninoff’s ideas, feels and understands them perfectly. Sinchuk leaves the impression of an intellectual pianist…” (Yuri Danilin, “Literaturnaya Gazeta”)
