Past events — Kazan

Akmal’ is the singer-songwriter behind Iz-za Tebya, Po Polyushku, Vdol Dorog and Mir Nam Zavidoval. His Kazan concert can appeal to listeners who know these songs and want to hear him on stage as well as in recordings.

Fire of Anatolia combines Turkish folk dance traditions with classical ballet and contemporary choreography. Movement and rhythm are central to the spectacle: choose this evening if you prefer a dance performance to a solo music concert.

Sergey Zhilin visits Kazan with Phonograph Jazz Quintet and the programme Is 60 a Lot or a Little? The anniversary becomes an opportunity to explore contemporary jazz through music, from works by established figures to the pianist’s own compositions. Choose this evening if you enjoy small instrumental groups and the interplay between musicians.

Guram Amaryan’s Bazar is a solo stand-up programme about everyday life and relationships with those closest to us. It draws on recognisable situations: family expectations, different views of marriage, domestic arguments and the small absurdities of an ordinary day.

CAGMO reimagines Korol i Shut’s songs through a string orchestra and choir. The strings and voices explore the band’s fantastical stories and lyrical ballads in a different way. Choose this evening to rediscover familiar melodies.

Peer Gynt turns a restless dreamer’s story into a series of earthly and fantastical encounters. Peer searches for himself, pursues new worlds, leaves those who love him and confronts his own past again. Edvard Grieg’s music and Georgy Kovtun’s choreography tell the story through movement.
