A frequent participant of the Diaghilev festivals of the past years, multi-percussionist Petr Glavatskikh presents the project "Age 300". The project is dedicated to two 300-year anniversaries at once: the foundation of the city of Perm and the creation of "The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi - a composition that has become to represent the early music.
The concept of the evening is organized around the idea of time. The endless cyclical change of seasons is reflected here in the music of different eras. Traditional Perm folklore in the concert programme stands next to Baroque and modern compositions, giving a historical and cultural perspective to the current developments. Fragments from Vivaldi's "Seasons" enter into a dialogue with the percussion concerto of the end of the 20th century. The Marimba Concerto by Ney Rosauro, a Brazilian composer whose works for percussion have entered the standard repertoire, has been performed several thousand times around the world over half a century since its creation and, apparently, can be considered one of the most popular percussion compositions in history. Latin American rhythms serve as the basis for the music of the concerto - the same foundation for Vivaldi's concerto style was the Venetian rhythms of his time. The programme is complemented by solo compositions for percussion: "Black Clouds" for vibraphone by Edison Denisov, a classic of the Soviet avant-garde, and preludes dedicated to spring, autumn and winter by Petr Glavatskikh himself.
Together with the soloist, the Rosarium Chamber Orchestra and the creative association "Repey" take part in the concert.
Rosarium is a collective focused on the authentic performance of the 18th century music. It has been part of the Faculty of Historical and Contemporary Performance of Moscow Conservatory since the formation of the faculty in 1997 and last year presented a programme of works by Bach and Telemann at the Diaghilev Festival.
Creative Association Repey studies traditional musical culture and invents forms for its presentation in an urban environment. The soloists of Repey have mastered the South Russian style of singing, rare vocal, and instrumental techniques on Pan’s multi-barrel flutes — kugikles, paelyans, zorkas — and single-barrel flutes whistlers. All the flutes of the ensemble are made by the participants from giant umbelliferous and gramineous plants. The concert will include folklore material collected by the ensemble in expeditions around Perm Krai and the South of Russia.
