The program offered to the public is fragments of individual concert compositions of the Russian State Academic Chamber "Vivaldi Orchestra" conducted by the People's Artist of Russia Svetlana Bezrodnaya. In January 2019, this one-of-a-kind female string orchestra, founded in 1989 by Svetlana Bezrodnaya, a famous violinist and renowned teacher, will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Over the years, the team has given about 3,000 concerts. Its leader has formed a unique repertoire, which includes more than 1,000 works by composers of different eras and trends, from baroque to avant-garde. In addition, for more than twenty years, the orchestra has been intensively working on other musical highways, including the domestic classical song, urban romance, operetta, and music from the repertoire of world-famous dance and jazz orchestras of the 20s-50s. A special place in the work of S. Bezrodnaya and her team is occupied by patriotic themes, which are devoted to a number of unique projects.
The program "Champagne Splashes" is, in fact, the "revived pages" of the thirty-year chronicle of the collective. In the first part of the concert will be presented populyarnnaya classics in a special interpretation of Svetlana Bezrodnoy: works by Vivaldi, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Bizet, Shchedrin, Sibelius, Kreisler, Gershvin, Chaplin and other authors. The second part will be composed of compositions included in the repertoire of the famous dance and jazz orchestras of the world in the middle of the last century. Many of them today can be heard (at least in our country) only at the concerts of Svetlana Bezrodnaya's "Vivaldi Orchestra". Sergey Polyansky (soloist of the orchestra and concert leader) will perform vocal performances that made Leonid Utesov and Peter Leshchenko, Vladimir Bunchikov and Pavel Mikhailov, Yuri Morfessi, Konstantin Sokolsky and other great Russian artists of that distant "gramophone" era famous
