of Sergei Yesenin). The event will also include Taras Buyevsky's composition
"Spring. Bureaucrats" from the symphonic suite "Eisenstein's

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.
