Musical and poetic performance
Directed by Mikhail Eliseev

Turning to Brodsky's "Christmas Poems" is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the mysterious circle of gospel images: a child, a father, a mother, a wise man, a shepherd, Son and God. And interpreting the words of Christ “And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me” (Matthew 11:6), to return, having made a circle, to yourself.

This concert is a part of the Moscow winter music festival programme.

A key motive of the first season festival is fairy tales, which plot lies at the heart of many world’s musical masterpieces.
A key “fairy tale” motive will be supplemented by the following genres: jazz and baroque, popular programmes, music and word, as well as premieres of some new projects and compositions.
A hallmark of this first major musical festival is programmes specially created for the family and children audience. Some of the projects are the result of a collaboration with young producers and lighting and video designers.
Opening concert audience will get a sight of a Grand Hall unique festival décor, that eventually will be spread throughout the Zaryadye concert hall building and will create a specific showpiece of this project.
