This music programme that fuses jazz and classical music was conceived by world renowned opera diva Hibla Gerzmava. To fulfill that idea, Gerzmava, a real jazz aficionado, combined her efforts with the trio of jazz pianist Yakov Okun, one of the best Russia jazz outfits. The set list consists of outstanding examples of European academic tradition performed in jazz style. Witness how close those different styles can be!

Iconic opera arias, songs and romances by Russian and European composers are in the set list. Arranged by Yakov Okun – one of the best Russian jazz pianists, acclaimed either by public, critics, and fellow musicians.
