Multimedia concert of Eduard Artemyev’s works will be held at the National Centre RUSSIA
On November 30 at 17:00, the National Centre RUSSIA will
host a concert dedicated to the birthday of the legendary Soviet and Russian
composer Eduard Artemyev. The event will feature his granddaughter Yekaterina
Artemyeva, the lead soloist of the Gradsky Hall Theatre Andrei Lefler, Nikita
Shutov (trumpet solo), as well as the Sound Puzzle Chorus and the Moscow-based
ensemble OpensoundOrchestra.
The
melodies of Artemyev will be preceded by new works by young composers whose art
was inspired by the masterpieces of Eduard Nikolaevich. Their music will
be complemented by modern technologies and generative design: using algorithms
and neural network technologies, a team of engineers has prepared a visual
accompaniment.
As part of
the main program, the audience will hear soundtracks by Eduard Artemyev for the
films of Andrei Tarkovsky, Nikita Mikhalkov, and Andrei Konchalovsky. The
concert will also feature works by contemporary composers.
The
National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian
Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA
EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a
permanent basis. Federal government agencies, state companies,
corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
The
National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow. The
Centre is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every day except Monday.
Host Alexei Slushchev and philosopher Konstantin Matsan discuss how ideas about human values have developed and whether they can influence our lives today.
In addition to souvenirs, a tea collection and healthy sweets, visitors to the Department Store showed particular interest in books.
