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.

Find Ieva on Instagram @ieva_blzvct and her illustrations etc @gloomy_business

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?

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Antwerp (M HKA) and V-A-C Foundation @vacfoundation are delighted to announce this year’s winner of Present Continuous, an annual scheme set up to support and promote the new generations of Russian artists.

Pushkin House @pushkinhouselondon is proud to be h

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 sparkling programme will again give prominence to lesser-known Russian composers such as #Alyabyev, #Arensky, #Genishta, #Glinka, and there will be a particular focus on the music of #Kapustin who died last year. The more renowned composers on the programme include #Balakirev, #Prokofiev, #Rimsky-Korsakov and #Tchaikovsky.

“When cinemas went dark, we were, like so many, forced to rethink how we could continue to serve our audience. We took a chance, and started a weekly online film season, free to audiences in the UK.

In @ysavikovskaya’s latest article, she speaks to @nikitasorokine about its significance, the role of the audiences, the relationship of the orchestra and the conductor, the message of the composer and what could be called a musical composition, the primary role of sounds in human nature, and many others.
