Trans-Siberian Art Festival is a Russian Forum headed by a Russian musician Vadim Repin. The name of Trans-Siberian Highway underlying the title of the festival not only reflects the idea of bringing together the cultures of the East and of the West, but also an idea of joining into a single creative highway a multitude of Russian towns and other countries.Every year the Forum features premieres by contemporary composers. One of the major principles underlying the festival is extending global music space by inviting artists of the highest level to remote regions of Russia.
Events of the Russian part of the Forum will be held from March 20 until April 18 in Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, as well as in cities of Novosibirsk region and the Krasnoyarsk Region, and in autumn in Samara, Tyumen and Tobolsk. The foreign part of the tour will take place in France and Japan. The festival will not stay away from the celebrations dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Great Victory and the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth.
“At his time Diaghilev blew up the minds of conservative Europe by bringing Russian ballet, musicians, artists. That is why “Russian seasons” have grown to become a symbol of new, fresh and unusual in art. I am delighted that a century later this project has been given a new lease of life, and I am proud that it is the fourth time that concerts of Trans-Siberian Art Festival have been its integral part”, – noted Vadim Repin.
