London, Prague, Mariupol - once these names could be placed on a traveler's map, in a note with vacation plans, or in one photo album.
Now we often mention them in a different context — they are cities that help, become a shelter, support, or wait for their return. For Ukraine, Mariupol is a city of unrelenting pain, a city of broken dreams and abandoned homes. Enemy aggression destroyed everything that love touched here. The work "City of Mary" dedicated by Zoltan Almashi tells about a city that defended itself to the last, in which there was less fear than courage, and despair - more than hope.
The concert will continue with one of the best classical instrumental serenades – Serenade by the English composer Edward Elgar, which became not only a landmark work in the composer’s work, but also one of the pearls of British music and a work of the founder of the English musical renaissance of the 20th century – Ralph Vaughan-Williams. The five variations on “Dives and Lazarus” for harp and string orchestra have a mysterious history – this uniquely British piece, based on a well-known folk song, was performed for the first time and with great success not in its native Britain, but in the legendary American Carnegie Hall.
In the best traditions of orchestral evenings, the concert will end with hope and bright moods. They will be presented with one of the best instrumental serenades in the history of music — Serenade for strings in E major by Antonin Dvořák.
