                  E. V. SHMELEVA,
                  THE GREAT MISSION
                  The organic nature of the Concert Center’s forms and volumes echoes the eco-friendly landscape of this unique territory. The architecture of the center is a metaphor for the silhouette of mountains and the sea, the high and the deep, a dialogue between art and nature
                  ARCHITECTURE
                  UNIQUE
                  The tempo and rhythm are expressed not only in the geometry of architectural forms but also in the acoustics. All spaces within the Concert Center are designed to serve a high musical culture.

                  The main stage, with a hall seating 1,200, features a unique, seamless orchestra shell and a transformable stage, ideal for symphony orchestra performances, festivals, and theatrical productions.

                  THE CHAMBER HALL, WITH 500 SEATS, IS DESIGNED FOR CONCERTS BY SMALL ENSEMBLES, CHAMBER GROUPS, AND SOLOISTS.

                  The center was designed and constructed following the recommendations of an international team of acoustical engineers, which includes the legendary Japanese engineer Yasuhisa Toyota, the mastermind behind the acoustic designs of the world’s finest concert venues.

                  "Sirius spring music festival"
                  The Sirius Spring Music Festival will open with a duet of leading Russian pianists. Nikolai Lugansky and Vadim Rudenko will present music by composers from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.

                  All three composers featured in the program were virtuoso pianists, prominent representatives of the era when pianism reached its apogee. Their work is marked by vibrant melody, rich harmony, and a deep connection with Russian (Rachmaninoff, Medtner) and French (Ravel) musical traditions, as well as friendship and correspondence (especially between Rachmaninoff and Medtner).

                  As representatives of the same era, they sensed the pulse of the times, but Rachmaninoff and Medtner as the "last romantics," and Ravel as an innovator and impressionist.

                  How do sound waves reach the brain, and what happens to them within us? Why can music change our mood, inspire heroism, or create a sense of comfort? Can the brain distinguish music from noise? How can we cultivate our inner ear and learn to hear music in silence? Why do human auditory preferences change, and does objective beauty exist in music?

                  Despite the efforts of thousands of researchers—from ancient times to modern times—the relationship between humans and music remains a field full of mysteries. In his lecture, "The Art of Listening: An Introduction," Yaroslav Timofeev will discuss the answers that have already been found, share his hypotheses, and formulate questions for the distant future.

                  In almost any European capital, only a cathedral or palace can compare in architectural grandeur to an opera house. For centuries, opera has been the highest artistic genre and the center of cultural life. And even now, in the age of digital entertainment, it remains irreplaceable and captivating, maintaining its status as the most elite of the arts.

                  Yaroslav Timofeev’s lecture aims to introduce the world of opera to neophytes and help those who can no longer imagine their life without the theater to delve deeper into it.
                  How can one hear the essence of an opera score? How can one understand the director’s intentions? How can one distinguish a first-class performance from a mediocre one? How can one unite one’s ears and eyes into a single sensory organ? And, most importantly, how can one experience the joy of immersing oneself in the world of opera?

                  "Mlada" Academic Choir is a famous highly professional young musicians team established 35 years ago, laureates of International competitions and festivals, "Bitva horov" (Battle of the Choirs) All-Russian competition winners, "Nu-ka, vse vmeste! Horom!" (All Together Now! In Chorus!) "Russia 1" TV-channel Grand Show finalists, cultural brand of Perm City and wider Permsky Krai Region. Artistic Director — Merited Art Worker of Russia Olga Vyguzova.

                  "From Folk to Jazz" is a "base" concert program showcasing team’s wide range of creative capabilities — performing music of all styles, genres and directions. It’s more than just the title of the program, but also the principle vector of choir’s development — mastery in stylistically diverse vocal techniques beginning with Core Academic Voice to different specific modes (Folk Singing, Contemporary and Jazz vocals, Scat, Throat singing, Yodeling etc.)

                  The concert will feature a wide range of Russian and international music, including opera classics, choral scores by contemporary composers, folk music arrangements, Soviet song classics of the 20th century, and jazz compositions. All pieces are performed a cappella, in exclusive choral arrangements.

                  "From Folk to Jazz" program’s dramatic structure is modular, with each of the 4 main blocks representing a specific musical genre.

                  I. Folk. A collection of folklore based choral works showcasing the value of folk art as a source for contemporary music composition and performance, also in academic style.

                  II. Classical. A contemporary view of the classical music helping to bring high-style examples closer to today’s audiences. A cappella choral covers promote the idea of blending vocal and instrumental sounds within a "single performance".

                  III. Songs. A selection of the finest examples of the 20th century Russia-specific genre song classics. The performers' mission is to be preserving and transmitting the artistic values embedded in each of these musical and poetic gems.

                  IV. Jazz. Choral performance of jazz music is not a traditional jazz process. However it opens the doors to a great generic diversity within: traditional jazz compositions, examples of Russian Dixieland, high classics and other variations in respectively stylized arrangements.
