The Ryazan First Edition of the “Vladimir Spivakov Invites” Festival
On March 18-20, Ryazan will host the “Vladimir Spivakov Invites” Festival for the first time (see Events). The music forum is sponsored by the Ryazan Region's government and is connected with the festivities on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the Ryazan Philharmonic Society. The history of the Russian editions of the Vladimir Spivakov Festival goes back to 2001 when the maestro organized the music feast in Moscow with the participation of world stars and rising artists to take place once in two years. In the course of time, the project has extended its boundaries beyond Moscow and went to many other Russian towns from Murmansk to Omsk. Now Ryazan is continuing this trend.
The official birthday of the Ryazan Philharmonic Society is March 4, 1939. Now it is an actively developing organization with a long history and new daring prospects. Its concert hall in Ryazan has presented best Russian performers and collectives to its audience. The NPR has also played on this stage many a time.

This year's 29th of February is the 232th birth anniversary of composer Gioachino Rossini, the author of world-known opera masterpieces such as Il barbiere di Siviglia, La gazza ladra, Il viaggio a Reims, La Cenerentola, Semiramide, Guillaume Telle. Heinrich Heine nicknamed him as “The sun of Italy”, Pushkin called him “Europe's darling Orpheus”, while Verdi wrote 'A great name, the most popular one in our times'. Many his contemporaries used similar rhapsodic expressions when speaking of Rossini, while Stendhal compared his fame ('having reached every place touched by civilization') with that of Napoleon's.
However, fed up with this splendor, Rossini totally discouraged the world of music when at the apogee of adoration and mastership, being only 37 years old, he broke his breathtaking career. He lived for more 40 years without composing any other opera. However, sporadically, just for himself, he wrote music in other genres.
Remembering Rossini's birthday (which may be celebrated only once in four years), Vladimir Spivakov designed a program which compiles works by the “man of the day” and his younger contemporaries. These are the composers, whom Rossini sincerely liked (not without reciprocity), with whom he met and whom he could help anyhow.
