🎻 #Tchaikovsky’s final #symphony, premiered just nine days before the composer’s death in 1893, is a #subversion of #symphonic form, and the #culmination of Tchaikovsky’s #musical exploration of the inexorability of fate. Its emotional range and depth make it one of the #masterpieces of the #19thcentury. Tchaikovsky himself described it as ‘the best thing I ever composed or shall compose’.
Hear it at the @cadoganhall as performed by #LondonPhoenixOrchestra this week on July 29th at 7:30. #Booknow while tickets are still available - link in bio 🤫

What is cultural #trauma and collective memory? How do these manifest as a result of today’s #turbulence?
In her #film #WhatWeShared, artist @kamilakucinsta answers this question by addressing the nature of memory and archives in relation to #Abkhazia, an autonomous region on the #BlackSea.

We have been creating and sharing #articles and #e

We have been creating and sharing #articles and #events about #Russian and #EasternEuropean art and culture for over 10 years on a #nonprofit basis. It has been a delightful journey of welcoming contributions from artists, #academics and other cultural workers to our articles, Youtube channel, #podcast and social media. We ran artist #residencies and open calls, promoted #emerging creative’s work and supported international #charitable organisations. We also launched #RussianArtWeek in London which was joined by @sothebys, @christiesinc, @roseberysauctioneers, @swordersfineart, @bonhams1793, @macdougallsauction, @shaperorarebooksrussian and others. This is a #biannual event bringing Russian and Eastern European art together in leading auction houses and galleries.
After an incredibly successful run, we have been hit by the current #conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the #pandemic. As an #independent platform, we have found it difficult to cover our costs in order to keep bringing you the high quality content that you are used to at the same pace. We are now at risk of closure, and ask for your help. Among members of our audience are #artlovers from all over the world, academics and world #culture enthusiasts – if you value our content and would like us to continue working to bring you cutting edge research in the field of Eastern European Cultural Studies, events from all over the world, #auctionresults, podcast episodes and videos, we ask you to #donate any affordable amount on a regular basis. Even if each one of our audience members donated £1, we would be able to continue working and growing. If we are unable to raise an amount that covers our running costs, we will be forced to shut down, so we #thankyou in advance for your #support over the past few years, and in this new stage! We are hoping that if our initial fundraising round is successful, we will be able to make tiered memberships to offer merchandise and special benefits for our supporters. We are endlessly grateful for your ongoing trust in Russian Art & Culture!

Are you exploring #modernism and #censorship in #easterneurope?
Then now is the time to send in your #expressionofinterest to be part of a #conference this autumn!
The institutions of censorship and modernism are often typecast as battling forces within #twentietcentury #culture. They are routinely situated at opposing ends on the spectrum of communication: the creative effort to expand language versus the #oppressive effort to curtail it; the individual versus the #establishment; the #advance of art versus its elimination. Yet, recent #research problematises these #binaries, revealing a more #nuanced and reciprocal relationship between exponents of modernism and agents of #culturalcontrol. Eastern European history provides rich case studies for this topic, albeit ones which are still regularly reduced to #stereotype.

🎹 Music education, be it a #musicschool or private #lessons, can be challenging both for kids and parents. How can we #inspire our #kids to play a musical #instrument without constant fights and #rebellion?
We know how useful music lessons are, as music improves #coordination and #memory, directly targets #imagination, #discipline, #attention and self-control and finally it teaches how to handle #stress and #pressure.
@OlgaJegunova’s new article featuring an interview with #violinist Liana Tretiakova, Head of @ZakharBronSchool of Music in Zurich uncovers how we can help #youngcreatives. They also discuss the #wunderkind notion and much more 🎶
Click the “latest article” link in our bio to read all about it, and join us on June 11th to be amazed by Liana’s students in the UK!

When #Onegin arrives at her family’s country est

When #Onegin arrives at her family’s country estate, #bookish teenager #Tatyana is impressed by his air of #sophistication. Impulsively, she pours her heart out to him in a letter, triggering a #lifechanging series of events. Years later, they meet again in #StPetersburg, and are confronted with a devastating moment of truth. In a #timeless story of innocence and experience, #Tchaikovsky’s #haunting #score captures every shade of #emotion.
