On January 24 at 18:30, a symphonic concert-presentation of contemporary academic music will take place at the National Centre RUSSIA, organized by the Shostakovich and Stravinsky publishing house in collaboration with the Union of Eurasian Composers.

The evening's program features the premiere performance of Nikita Vorontsov's poem "The Black Man" for tenor and symphony orchestra (based on the poetry of Sergei Yesenin). The event will also include Taras Buyevsky's composition "Spring. Bureaucrats" from the symphonic suite "Eisenstein's Line," Mikhail Kotelnikov's cantata "Oktoikh" for mixed choir and string orchestra, and Lyubov Shangina's choral concerto "Memory."

The performers of the program will be the Mendeleev Filarmonica Symphony Orchestra of the Dmitri Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (MUCTR), conducted by Yevgeny Rubtsov, and the Youth Synodal Choir under the direction of Mikhail Kotelnikov.

Concert guests will have a unique opportunity to add all the pieces from the program to their playlists via digital music services. The event will appeal to both professionals and music enthusiasts, thanks to the efforts of the Shostakovich and Stravinsky publishing house to make contemporary academic music accessible to a wide audience.
