Welcome to the Russian Seasons 2019!
Dear friends, music lovers, and lovers of Slavic cultures,
The Russians in Montreal will celebrate their seventh anniversary in 2019, seven years of discoveries, encounters, memorable moments and musical passion! The Saisons Russes is a world of music and artists to discover, and an already well-established link between Quebec and Slavic music.
The theme of our 2019 edition will be the idea of musical vision: fantastic, nostalgic, celestial or fugitive visions, which will accompany you throughout the festival. Because it's all about visions, during this mysterious communion that unites the artist on the stage and his audience in the audience ...
And to create these visions, our programming this year presents particularly evocative works (Dumky trio of Dvořák, Suites for two pianos of Rachmaninov or Prokofiev's Visions Fugitives), and always great Quebec artists to interpret them: Axel Strauss, Yegor Dyachkov , Ilya Poletaev, the New Generation Orchestra ...
But, as always, the Russian Seasons are not limited to music: our audience will be able to discover the Alexandrov cinema and the music of Dounayevsky, or experience the association music and animated paintings during our closing concert ... So many reasons to join us in 2019, and come and experience a visionary Russian Season in Montreal!
Irina Krasnyanskaya, Artistic Director.
