|“Requiem”. To the 65th anniversary of the termination of the World War II|

Symphony Performance

Opening night: May 4, 2010
Ticket price range: 750—5000 rub.
International charity project to the 65th anniversary of the termination of the World War II

Requiem is always the music about memory, forgiveness and conciliation. Requiem warns against the disaster that must not happen ever again. 65 years have passed since the termination of the greatest war of the XX century, several generations have risen since then. The performance of the Requiem by Alexey Sioumak demonstrates the view of young people of the tragic events which have wounded the lives of their grandfathers. The view is not indifferent. It is full of respect for the memory, and at the same time it is a new view.
