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.
