NEW KUSOCHEK EPISODE OUT ✨ This week Lara @lolsz

NEW KUSOCHEK EPISODE OUT ✨ This week Lara @lolszowska #interviews Ieva Blazeviciute, a Lithuanian art director at Vice who has recently designed and published a #photography book exploring the meaning of the label Post-Soviet and what this concept means to people from former #Soviet states, not just Russia. Ieva discusses how her understanding of #identity has been impacted by #learning new languages, travelling abroad alone and witnessing the sudden trend in the West of adopting Soviet #aesthetics. She shares the story behind her #artwork and has a great recommendation for non-Russian speakers who want to experience some #modern #poetry of an #authentic #Russian soul.

In this complicated time for the culture industry, we’d like to support @coroliricosiciliano by telling you a little bit about them.

CHORUS OF THE SICILIAN OPERA: AN OSCAR CHOIR

Choral institution established on the international scene, ambassador of the "BELCANTO" in the world.

Founded in 2008, it is now considered one of the most important opera and symphonic choirs in Italy; since its inception it has been directed by the bass Francesco Costa, Oscar della Lirica 2016, with the artistic direction of the soprano Giovanna Collica and the presidency of the baritenor Alberto M. A. Munafò.

The special care for vocality and style and the versatility of its choir members, allows the Chorus to address both the sophisticated, symphonic and sacred music and the robust traditional repertoire.

Are there any organisations you support?

Pushkin House @pushkinhouselondon is proud to be hosting its second annual Music Festival this year, despite the uncertainty and the ever-changing circumstances caused by the pandemic. Our 2021 edition will be delivered digitally, with all concerts recorded in our 18th-century home, ‘premiered’ online then available to watch on demand.

The more renowned composers on the programme include #Balakirev, #Prokofiev, #Rimsky-Korsakov and #Tchaikovsky.
