Welcome to the Montreal Russian Seasons 2021!
Dear friends,
What a trying year for all of us ... And while it seems like we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, nothing can erase all the suffering and loss accumulated during the pandemic.
The world of the arts has been particularly affected, and artists need your support now more than ever! That’s why, to forget for a moment the difficulties of everyday life, we invite you to escape with us, in music, into the magical world of Russian tales...
If Slavic music seems so close to the heart, it is because it is rooted in popular folklore. There is arguably no other culture in which music has been so influenced by folk tales and fantasy. Every Slavic composer has used this material, and we will explore this treasure trove of musical stories, from Tchaikovsky (Sleeping Beauty) to Rimsky-Korsakov (Sadko) to Borodin (Prince Igor) and Janáček (Pohádka) .
So many great stories to tell, and such great artists to tell them! This year, Natalie Choquette, Cameron Crozman, Philip Chiu, the Montreal Piano Duo, and the Orchestre Nouvelle Génération will be your musical storytellers ...
Once upon a time ... the 2021 edition of the Saisons Russes de Montréal ...
Irina Krasnyanskaya, artistic director.
