Trolley Museum and Classical Music at Train Stations Automatic translate

KRASNOYARSK. The regional center hosts the XI Winter Arts Festival.

The program of the festival, annually held in the homeland of the Russian painter Vasily Surikov, includes classical music concerts, art exhibitions, performances by folklore groups, a competition of snow-ice sculptures and trips on a museum trolleybus with a copy of the painting “Taking the Snowy Town” to the places where you have been artist.

As part of the classic section of the program, a performance was held by pianist Lev Terskov, a student of Mary Lebenzon, a multiple winner of the Delphic Games, winner of memorial contests Vera Lothar-Shevchenko. Accompanied by a chamber orchestra conducted by Mikhail Benyumov, he performed works by Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Haydn. Young pianists, participants in the Christmas concert of piano music, presented interpretations of the works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich in the concert hall of the regional philharmonic society.

A wonderful notion of the organizers of the XI festival is the performance of brass and chamber orchestras in the waiting rooms of the city’s railway stations. At the stations "Bazaikha", "Yenisei", "Zlobino" the music of Sviridov, Arensky, Tchaikovsky, Shalamov, Grieg, Bizet, Saint-Saens was heard. Stations and even trains were used as a kind of concert venue in the first half of the 19th century after the appearance of the first Russian railway. Its main passengers at that time were members of the royal family, who traveled comfortably from St. Petersburg to Tsarskoye Selo. And after the opening of a new branch - from Tsarskoye Selo to Pavlovsk. Performances of singers and musicians provided a good mood and a pleasant atmosphere on the way to monarchs. Amusements continued on arrival. Some researchers believe that the concerts were not held at the station, but in the so-called voxals - places for folk “gulbishchi”. Located in the immediate vicinity of the stations, they contributed, in modern terms, to the excellent PR of the new vehicle and attracted crowds of people for a pleasant pastime.

List, Strauss, famous domestic performers performed at the concert venue of Pavlovsky Station. At the train stations, Anastasia Vyaltseva and Fedor Chaliapin did not consider it shameful. Spectators who attended the “train station” concerts in Krasnoyarsk speak with enthusiasm about them and hope that such cultural landings will become a tradition.
