Cebu will be treated to an enchanting evening of Russian musical ingenuity as the Embassy of the Russian Federation in partnership with the provincial government and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) presents a "by invitation only" concert dubbed Rossiya: A Night Of Russian Music.
The one-night event will be held this July 29, 6:30 pm at the Capitol Social Hall.
This is part of the 35th year celebration of the Philippine-Russian Relations and the Days of Russian Culture in the Philippines, wherein the NCCA previously signed a protocol agreement for cultural cooperation with Russia. The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation decided to send over their best ensemble a delegation of ten performers, two representing the Ministry and eight from the State Academic Folk Ensemble ‘Rossiya’.
Rossiya was formed in 1968, when USSR national actress Lyudmila Georgievne Zykinoj decided to organize a national ensemble that would be both mobile and constantly in operation. This ensemble prides itself for being composed of balalaika, bayan and contrabass players alongside a guitarist.
Rossiya generated major exposure, played with popular musicians and soloists and made a great number of records under its first main conductor, the national of the Russian Federation, Maestro Victor Gridina.
In 2004, Gridina's fellow national actor, Sobolev Anatoly Nikolaevich took the reins and become Rossiya's next main conductor. Nikolaevich is also a muscian, arranger, and a composer of some for the finest Russian Music.
Rossiya's fame further expanded when award-winning composer and musician Dmitry Dmitrienko became its director and conductor. The members of this top Russian National Ensemble are just as talented. Most of them own several instruments which allow them to do their own musical arrangement. At present, this Rossiya continues to win the crowd by giving the highest level of professional performance without compromising artistic freedom in its music.
Rossiya will first hold a show in Manila at the Cultural Center of the Philippines on July 26 before heading to Cebu to perform and enjoy our island’s sights.
