In 1924, Igor Moiseev began his career at the Bolshoi Theater as a ballet soloist, and then as a choreographer. His career has no equal: he became a choreographer at 24, staging ballets on his native stage: “Footballer” to music by V. Oransky (together with L. Zhukov and L. Lashchilin, 1930), “Vain precaution” (together with A. Messerer on the stage of the Experimental Theater at the Bolshoi Theater, 1930); “Salambo” to the music of A. Arends (1932); "Three Fat Men" to the music of V. Oransky (1935); “Spartak” to the music of A. Khachaturian (1958), also dances in operas: “Zagmug” (1930); Turandot (1931); The Demon (1932); “Love for three oranges” (1933); The Carmen (1933).
In 1937, the choreographer created the world’s first professional folk dance ensemble. From this moment, the creative team begins its history, which has become one of the main business cards of Russia.
“Folklore is not enough to love and promote, it needs to be developed. If we do not do this, then we will certainly go back in time, "said Igor Moiseyev. That is why he devoted his entire creative life to the development and improvement of folk dance.
Three concerts on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater will present a retrospective of the unique works of the great choreographer. November 28, viewers will see the program "Classics of Igor Moiseyev ": Russian dance "Summer " - the ensemble’s visiting card, the legendary Moses "Partisans", the virtuoso Argentinean "Gaucho ", the famous "Hopak ", "Aragonese Hot "and other works.

The upcoming concerts promise to be an event not only for the audience, but also for the artists themselves.
