Улететь в другое пространство на концерте в Евангелическо-лютеранском кафедральном соборе святых Петра и Павла — 28 августа.

Если окончание лета вы воспринимаете так же остро, как закрытие «Симача», советуем провожать его на подобающей высокой духовной ноте — под сводами Евангелическо-лютеранского кафедрального собора святых Петра и Павла. В субботу самое известное произведение жанра — «Реквием» В.А. Моцарта — будет звучать в исполнении Московского государственного академического симфонического оркестра и Государственного академического русского хора имени А.В. Свешникова. За дирижерским пультом — ценитель духовной музыки и ученик Теодора Курентзиса Олег Романенко. Важно, что «Реквием» прозвучит в редкой для наших широт редакции Байера, самой «моцартовской» из всех существующих.

On 22 April, 2021, in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the Moscow State Academic Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Pavel Kogan, as part of the Philharmonic subscription No. 88 “Masterpieces of World Choral Music”, will present to the audience a concert with the performance of the great cantata-oratorio masterpiece by K. Orff. The legendary cantata "Carmina Burana" - the most famous work of the German composer of the XXth century Karl Orff. Written in 1937, the cantata still amazes listeners with its monumentality (both in the huge orchestra instrumentation and in duration) and, at the same time, by its artistic democratism, surprisingly combining the “seriousness” of the academic genre and its bright super-vivid presentation. 

Conductor - Vladimir Ponkin. The State Academic Choir of Russia named after A. A. Yurlov (music director and chief conductor - Gennady Dmitryak) will also take part in the concert.

On 3 April, at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall,  a night concert of the Moscow State Academic Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Pavel Kogan will take place as a part of the Moscow Philharmonic's project “Mom, I'm a Melomane”.

Conductor of this concert is Azim Karimov, Music Director and Chief Conductor of the "Entre Nous" chamber orchestra. The presenter Anton Dolin, film critic and ex-presenter of the "Evening Urgant" show, will immerse in the world of classical music this evening.
