The Thirteenth Edition of the “Vladimir Spivakov Invites…” Festival in Moscow

The 13th Edition of the Moscow Music Festival “Vladimir Spivakov Invites” will take place from October 5 to December 10, 2025, on the stages of the Svetlanov Hall of the Moscow International Performing Arts Center and the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall. The feast commenced by the outstanding violinist and conductor Vladimir Spivakov in 2001 has turned to be a bright example of a successful project having its own style, priorities and a constantly expanding audience. “To me the most important is not so much the number of festival concerts as the occasion to show in Moscow the things I love myself, something new, of various genres and styles, unique and prodigious”, – says Vladimir Spivakov.

Traditionally Maestro will perform most of the concerts with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia; two concerts will be given to the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra. The concerts will be shared with soloists Anna Aglatova (soprano), Nadezhda Gulitskaya (soprano), Ekaterina Mechetina (piano), Rėmi Geniet (piano, France), Vladimir Vishnevsky (piano), Igor Podoplelov (bass-baritone), artist-reciter Victor Verzhbitsky and some others (see Programme).
