A lecture-concert titled "Music of the Silver Age" from the cycle "Walking through the Ages" was presented on October 29 at the Labyrinth Gallery.
The Silver Age was a time in music history that was among the most inventive, controversial, and colorful – yet also one of the most cherished by many music fans. Symbolists, who represented this tendency, were zealous in their pursuit of the ideal and the mystical, the sublime and the ecstatically thrilled. The turn of the 19th century's composers and musicians were able to accurately capture the unique tranquilly of the era.
The concert's schedule featured well-known ensemble and piano compositions in miniature form by Anatoly Lyadov, Alexander Glazunov, Nikolai Medtner, and Reinhold Glier, and the second portion was entirely composed of works by Sergei Rachmaninoff and Alexander Scriabin, two of the Silver Age's titans.
We invite everyone to the next concert "A Thousand faces of Modernity" dedicated to various cultural trends of the late 19th – the first half of the 20th century. Music by Claude Debussy, Béla Bartók, Arnold Schoenberg and others will be performed. The meeting will take place on 26/11/2022 at 3 pm.
