I am glad to congratulate all music lovers on the upcoming holiday of music and the beginning of a new decade of the festival VIVACELLO, in which we enter in a renewed form. The festival has a new logo and corporate identity, for which we are grateful to designer Andrei Shelyutto and his wonderful team. In addition, our new partner was the company "Yunipro", and we very much hope that this cooperation will last for many years.

​

Traditionally, the festival will be attended by the brightest artists from Russia and foreign countries, in particular, from the United Kingdom, where musicians from different directions will come. Performances of British artists at the festival will be part of the program of the cross year of music of great Britain and Russia 2019, which is held by the Department of culture and education of the British Embassy in Moscow.

​

Festival poster again pleases style and genre diversity: along with concerts "Philharmonic" format – club jazz evenings, musical and literary composition "cello Concerto with character" specially written for VIVACELLO script Sasha Filipenko. One of the concerts will be a joint project with the Alexander Frauchi guitar festival, and the program will include works with cello and guitar.

​

Among the dearest guests of the festival we are waiting for Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki, who will come to conduct the performance of his music. The young French composer Samuel Struk will arrive for the Russian premiere of his concert. At the closing of the festival will be another premiere-for the first time in Russia will sound Triple concert of Anatoly Shenderovas, who recently passed away, not having done for VIVACELLO a new version of his work. We will dedicate the performance of the concert to his memory.

​

We are glad to welcome our regular audience and new listeners, and we are sure that every music lover will be able to find something interesting in the festival poster.

President of the festival VIVACELLO
