How to celebrate "New Year at the Conservatory"

MOSCOW. A concert of Sarah Chang at the conservatory opened the New Year’s festival.

The rituals familiar from childhood are those beacons that lead us to a holiday without fail. And whatever storms rage around, they give a sense of stability and hope for a miracle. One more tradition has been added to the trouble-free gastronomic triad - olivier, champagne, tangerines, Irony of Fate and Nutcracker this year. The New Year at the Conservatory festival, which opened on December 29 in the Great Hall, is an extension of the familiar format of festive evenings. A magnificent gift “under the Christmas tree” will be the performances of famous musicians at the peak of their popularity, at the peak of form.

Stars of the first magnitude are announced as the first guests of the new festival. Among them - the Mexican singer, laureate of the Enrico Caruso contest Ramón Vargas. Soloist La Scala and Metropolitan Opera, who will perform with arias from Verdi, Mozart, Puccini’s operas on the last day of the outgoing year, are called the best tenor in the world. His colleague, Peruvian tenore di grazia Juan Diego Flórez. Juan Diego Flores, whose concerts are called "opera attraction", will present classic hits from Leoncavallo, Rossini, Velazquez, Gounod. The intellectual pianist David Fray will also appear in Moscow, who is always compared with the great Glenn Gould.

At the first concert, December 29, the violinist Sarah Chang performed a concert with Dvorak. The career of a graduate of the Juilliard School, a student of Yitzhak Perlman and Shlomo Mints, winner of the Hollywood Hall of Fame award Hollywood Bowl is developing so rapidly that the opportunity to find a gap in the busy schedule of performances with the best orchestras of the world turned out to be one of the New Year’s miracles. "New Year at the Conservatory" will end on January 5.
