GO, COMRADE, TO US ON THE KOLKHOS!

Why did the “peasant theme”, so loud in the Bolshevik appeals (“Come, comrade, to our collective farm!”), Almost did not sound in the music of the revolutionary era? Today we know how the Bolshevik slogan about the “connection of the city and the village” was dramatically realized in real life, but how was this reflected in the music of that time? In search of answers, we clash in our program two works by A. Mosolov, the leader of urbanism of the 1920s - his “proletarian” “Plant” and the “Soviet-peasant” play “The Tractor Column Enters the Collective Farm Village”; we present the brilliant sound cartoons of Shostakovich to the characteristic human characters of that time.

The echoes of that dramatic era are also heard in the music of the composers of our day - young authors in a bizarre counterpoint combine the recordings of the voices of real heroes of that time with the sounds of their embodied dreams - the sounds of engines and the howling of sirens, solder together the sonorica of the avant-garde and the sound of folk voices.

Having studied the program article of the era of collectivization “Vertigo from success”, the ensemble “Studio of New Music” together with the folk ensemble of Dmitry Pokrovsky invites listeners on a dizzying musical journey into the history of our country and today, our past and present, captured in sounds.
