В Кольмаре состоялся XXVI Международный музыкальный Фестиваль

Владимир Спиваков и Мастера Хорового пенияВ июле 2014 года прошел XXVI Международный фестиваль в Кольмаре (Франция), который был посвящен памяти выдающегося российского музыканта Евгения Светланова (1938-2002). Человек, обладающий харизмой и преданный своему делу (он говорил, что каждый концерт нужно исполнить так, будто от этого зависит чья-то жизнь!), этот потрясающий музыкант оказал огромное влияние на историю Фестиваля: «Светлановские годы» (1992-1996) прочно закрепили за Кольмаром репутацию как на национальном, так и на международном уровне. В памяти ценителей музыки навсегда останутся несколько концертов Государственного академического симфонического оркестра России под руководством Евгения Федоровича, прошедших на фестивале.
