Each book opens with an expert article on the subject.

Maxim Vengerov,the Pavarotti of the violin,charmed

Maxim Vengerov,the Pavarotti of the violin,charmed and seduced a packed Albert Hall with superb performances in this Brahms Gala concert.His violin concerto and the double concerto where he was joined by the beautiful young cellist Lied Haga.
With the genial Marios Papadopoulos and his creation ,the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra who followed every nuance of these two artists as they played every glorious note by heart.
From the heart to the heart as the orchestra filled the vast hall with glorious sounds inspired by such wonderful playing.
Vengerov,microphone in hand,thanked his superb companions in this musical voyage together dedicated to Brahms.
But there was more to come with a surprise encore.
With great charm Vengerov announced that he would play together with nine of his students from the masterclasses he holds regularly at the Royal College.
Joining in the fun were Mira Marton,David Horvat,Elif Canserver,Molin Han,Deniz Sensoy,Esther Park,Lucilla Mariotti,Annissa Gybel,Ilai Avni.
A work by Pablo de Sarasate for two violins that this evening would be with ten!
And it was party time that ignited the enthusiasm of all those present whether on stage or in the hall. #review #concertreview #maximvengerov #classicalmusic #eventsinlondon #brahms

« Russian Art in the New Millennim » by Edward

« Russian Art in the New Millennim » by Edward Lucie-Smith and Sergei Reviakin. New book is available at our gift shop. 📚. There is surprisingly little, and certainly nothing comprehensive, written about the contemporary Russian scene now. What appear in the West are mostly reports about so-called ‘dissidents’, not about what is happening in this vast culture, taken as a whole. The aim of Russian Art in the New Millennium is not to support any one cause, but to look at the situation as it now exists objectively and to give as wide and truthful a view as possible. #russianart #onlinebookshop #newmillenium #russianartists #visualarts #russianartandculture

TRANSLATING RUSSIA’S GREATEST FORGOTTEN NOVELIST

TRANSLATING RUSSIA’S GREATEST FORGOTTEN NOVELIST: NADEZHDA KHVOSHCHINSKAYA (1821–1889) - 16 April at @pushkinhouselondon
Nadezhda Khvoshchinskaya (1821–1889) was one of Russia’s greatest nineteenth-century novelists, yet today she is virtually unknown. One of three literary sisters (the “Russian Brontës”), Nadezhda was the third highest paid author in Russia by the 1870s, yet she disappeared from literary history in the twentieth century as the Bolsheviks nationalised the works of fifty-seven writers – all men – for publication in greater quantities than Soviet literature.

Through the seasons and the stars, where dreams blossom. A new production of a timeless classic.
Royal Ballet Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton’s Cinderella celebrates its 75th anniversary this Season. The ballet’s opening night in 1948, featuring Moira Shearer and Michael Somes in the lead roles, was received rapturously. After over a decade away from the Royal Opera House stage, Ashton’s timeless reworking of Charles Perrault’s famous rags-to-riches story returns, showcasing the choreographer’s deft musicality and the beauty of Prokofiev’s transcendent score. A creative team steeped in the magic of theatre, film, dance and opera brings new atmosphere to Cinderella’s ethereal world of fairy godmothers and pumpkin carriages, handsome princes and finding true love

In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 190

In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900 - 1930s
From 29 November 2022 to 30 April 2023 Despite these tragic circumstances, Ukrainian art of the period lived through a true renaissance of creative experimentation. In the Eye of the Storm reclaims this essential – though little-known in the West – chapter of European modernism, displaying around 70 works in a full range of media, from oil paintings and sketches to collages and theatre designs. Following a strict chronological order, the show presents works by masters of Ukrainian modernism, such as Oleksandr Bohomazov, Vasyl Yermilov, Viktor Palmov, and Anatol Petrytskyi. Exploring the polyphony of styles and identities, the exhibition includes neo-Byzantine paintings by the followers of Mykhailo Boichuk and experimental works by members of the Kultur Lige, who sought to promote their vision of contemporary Ukrainian and Yiddish art, respectively. It features pieces by Kazymyr Malevych and El Lissitzky #avantgarde #intheeyeofthestorm #modernism #modernisminukraine

Katya Gerasimova Bosky and Natasha Arendt are invi

Katya Gerasimova Bosky and Natasha Arendt are inviting you to visit third ‘B&W and Bright” exhibition in London at Art Space, St.Marylebone Parish Church from 31st March till 26th April.
Natasha Arendt created an unusual series of semi-abstract paintings and drawings in bright colours; abandoning her usual restrained palette. In her works, the traditions of surrealist Soviet graphics of the 1960s and 1970s are combined with French Art Deco and Suprematism of the 1920s. And this is not a stylization, but an organic and at the same time ironic worldview of the artist.
