A night of three premieres – it’s extraordinary! It’s not every day we listen to the first performance of a composer’s oevre, and when we do we become a part of creation of new sound reality. This is why since the beginning of time concerts like that not only gather musicic professionals, but music aficionados too.

November 26 will see brand new works of Pavel Karmanov, the Russia-and world-wide renowned composer. As early as in his student years in Moscow Conservatory he felt that avant-garde composition is not his cup of tea, and he turned to minimalism. Now his compositions are far beyond such musicologists clichées as “mimimalism”, or “post-minimalism”. Karmanov uses different styles or technics to express his soul. All these three new pieces are dedicated to pianist Alexey Lyubimov, the outstanding advocate and supporter of contemporary music.

Englishman Michael Nyman is one of Karmanov’s hero. And Nyman in his own turn, can be dubbed as “Mozart’s heir”, for he would use Mozarts’ themes in his compositions. This is why Lyubimov, the headliner of the concert, includes in his set Fantasy c-moll KV 396, the unfinished work, completed by Maximilian Shtadler. “You can feel Mozart’s genius even in tiniest bit of music!”, assures Lyubimov.
