"Organ, duduk and saxophone. Belcanto trio" Automatic translate

August 21 Sunday 16.00

The unique trio Belcanto invites to its concert. Organ, duduk and saxophone. Have you ever met this?

Organ, duduk and saxophone. The unexpected composition of this trio is surprising and delighted. The surprise is because there has never been such a thing in the entire thousand-year history of music. Delight - because there is an amazing opportunity to hear the magical harmony of legendary instruments. The organ is almost the same age as European civilization, the saxophone was invented only less than two hundred years ago, the duduk is a folk instrument, with all its centuries-old history, which only entered the classical concert stage in the twentieth century. More recently, such an ensemble seemed impossible. But, thanks to the meeting of wonderful musicians: duduk player Khosrov Manukyan, organist Ivan Ipatov and saxophonist Mikhail Troshin, a miracle happened. And the point is not that each of the ensemble members is a great soloist with numerous victories at international competitions (and this is exactly so!) - but that as a result of a creative community something completely new arose that has no analogues in modern performance, nor in all previous history. Each of the musicians of the trio is multifaceted and unpredictable. Organist Ivan Ipatov - composer and pianist, duduk player Khosrov Manukyan - pianist, sound engineer and arranger, saxophonist Mikhail Troshin - master of jazz improvisation and a wonderful classical musician. They are very different, but all of them were united by the search for a new one. The tremendous success that accompanies each performance of the Belcanto Trio is a logical result of tireless work, continuous search, and the complementarity of the versatility of performing and personal talents of ensemble members.
