About this Event
🎭 Masterpieces of Russian Art Song: Tchaikovsky and Mussorgsky
On 21 September (Sunday) Mariinsky Theatre musicians — baritone Efim Zavalny, pianist Rebekka Magomedova, and soprano Gulshan Akin — invite you to a powerful and intimate recital exploring the masterpieces of Russian art songs.
Why attend?
Experience two contrasting worlds — the radiant lyricism of Tchaikovsky and the haunting drama of Mussorgsky — brought to life by artists who have been performing together for over 10 years, starting in St. Petersburg, the city where both composers lived and created.
Programme highlights:
- Tchaikovsky: classics like “Amidst the Din of the Ball”, “Don Juan’s Serenade”, and “Bless You, Forests”
- Mussorgsky: the haunting " Songs and Dances of Death" (Lullaby, Serenade, Trepak, The Field‑Marshal)
