About the project “Return of the Musical Heritage of Russia”
Abstract
The article is devoted to the history of the International Project “Return of the Musical Heritage of Russia”, which has been operating since 2006 in the Russian Far East and in Japan. The concert programs of Far Eastern and Japanese musicians include instrumental and vocal music by Russian emigrant composers of the “first wave”: Medtner, Rachmaninov, Tcherepnin, Achron, Grechaninov, etc. The project aims to “return” to the academic space of Russia musical imagery, which was “lost” in the 20s of the twentieth century. It develops in four directions: music by N. Medtner, music by N. Tcherepnin, chamber music by expatriate composers and scientific and educational activities aimed not only at popularizing this music, but also with the study of its phenomenon. The promising direction of the project is "tied" to the dialogue of modern Russian musical reality and the cultural tradition of the countries of the Far Eastern region, in the formation of which representatives of Russian emigration participated.
