Minsk-classic in the program «carnival of animals»26.08.2019.

The Minsk-Classic orchestra, as well as the concert host and conductor Maxim Rassokha, present a joyful, vibrant and summer-like light concert “Animal Carnival” on August 26 in the Upper Town Concert Hall.
A large number of composers all over the world at all times addressed the theme of «animal world». We collected the most striking works in one concert: “Flight of the Bumblebee” by N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov, “Dance of the Little Swans” by P. Tchaikovsky, Minuet “The Bull” by J. Haydn, “The Dog Waltz” by F. Chopin, Polka “ Cuckoo ”by I. Strauss,“ The Duet of Cats ”by J. Rossinny and others. However, the central place of the concert will be played by a humorous, ironic and even satirical Zoological fantasy — the“ Carnival of Animals ”suite by French composer Camille Saint-Saens.

Concert cycle of modern classical music 26.05.2019.

 

I was very glad to be a part of this action. Composition of Georgian composer Gia Kancheli — STYX
captivated both the audience and the musicians, who were inspired not only by the unusual combinations of the sounds of the orchestra, the choir, but also the sound of silence.
Daria Filippenko — viola.
Capella Sonorus Musical Chapel
Orchestra OKO.
Conductor — Alexander Humala.

Chamber Music Concert to the 85th anniversary of the Belarusian Union of Composers. February 27, 2019.

In our country there are so many talented musicians. However, talented, memorable composers — probably, like everywhere else, not very much. But I was lucky — I know many of them. Some of them started their activities when I was not even born, but there are also quite young composers. Alexandra Danshova is a young but already known worldwide composer whose work includes chamber, vocal, choral, instrumental music; music for theater, cinema; pop music; music for children. Very nice and close for me in spirit was the performance of her Piece «To the Time».

Bridges — Pop-Up Concert in Malhaus in Frankfurt am Main 17.11.2018.

Interesting concert in a beautiful place. New acquaintances are always encouraging, especially if they are creative people!
Once I happened to play with my favorite international team Bridges – Musik verbindet in an interesting place. It was an exhibition hall — a workshop for one young artist. The girl’s name is Olga Petrova. It turned out she was from Ukraine. As is known, Ukraine and Belarus are neighbors. We met and talked after the concert very soulfully. It is very pleasant when it turns out to combine the pleasant with the even more pleasant

Once in Frankfurt am Main 13.10.2018.

Do you want to play cymbaly? Just write me about it!

Since 1991, I have been playing cymbals. In this case, I am a professional. When I play cymbals on the street, a lot of people come up to me and ask what kind of instrument it is, where it comes from, how it is played, what kind of music can be played on it. All these questions have answers! I am pleased to answer all questions, I will show, tell and teach you how to play!»

Concert of modern music 10.08.2018.

“Who doesn’t like to experiment? I love it most! So life is more interesting.”

One of the recent cases turned out to be an unusual event, which differs from a usual concert by venue and essence .. It took place at the site of an abandoned factory, in barns adapted for such events — there are several of them and all the numbers were performed in different places, and the public traveled to different rooms. It was very unusual. The piece by John Cage is called Living room music and our quartet performed it in the most pleasant of all places — in the bar

Bridges — Musik verbindet 29.04.2018

Damit hätte wohl keiner gerechnet. Denn wenn man zu einem „Bridges – Musik verbindet“-Konzert kommt, weiß man, da spielen viele afrikanische, arabische und asiatische Musiker mit, die für uns oft fremd klingende Instrumente ihr Eigen nennen und gerne auch Kompositionen aus ihrem Kulturkreis vorstellen. Und dann beginnt der lange wie kurzweilige Abend im hr-Sendesaal mit dem „Divertimento Nr. 11 in D“ von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

I have great pleasure to play with these guys! We are so different, but we are together!
