RASUL KLYCHEV: THREE CONCERTS TO LISTEN TO …

June 6 at 19.00 at the National Music and Drama Theater named Makhtumkuli will host a concert «Charlie Chaplin's film «Baby» performed by the youth chamber orchestra conducted by Rasul Klychev. The occasion for this concert was the 100th anniversary of the release of the silent full-length American film «Baby». For Charlie Chaplin, this tragicomedy had a special meaning: here the film star performed in five guises - as a composer, screenwriter, director, actor and producer.

«We decided to repeat the concert «Charlie Chaplin's «Baby» for the Ashgabat public and guests of the capital, which was performed last year at the Oil and Gas Cultural Complex and was a huge success», commented the conductor of the chamber orchestra. – Someone will hear it for the first time, someone will want to listen to the music for the film, and again plunge into the famously twisted circumstances for the Kid and his adoptive father.

Another concert – «A Journey to the World of Classical Music», which will take place on June 13 at 19.00, at the same place. Listeners will be able to enjoy the fantasy overture «Romeo and Juliet» by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, which is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful compositions that have become the measure of human love.

Following Tchaikovsky, Symphony No. 2 will sound in several parts by Sergei Rachmaninov. The French impressionist in the music of Claude Debussy will be represented by Yusup Ovezov. There will also be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - an overture to the opera The Marriage of Figaro. From the compositions of Turkmen composers, listeners will once again enjoy the magnificent Concert for oboe and orchestra by Redjep Redjepov. It harmoniously combines melody, orchestration, and modern elements of music. This composition is written at such a high level that it can be successfully performed for any audience anywhere on the planet. At the same time, the performance of the Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra is a tribute to the memory of Redjep Redjepov.

And, finally, the third concert will take place there and at the same time, but already on June 20. Meeting with the audience, under the influence of the songs of the war years, will help us to recreate the picture of the life of a generation of people who had to withstand four incredibly difficult war years. We hope for the success of our execution.
