The creative path of M.I. Benyumov in context of processes of the Krasnoyarsk musical life in the last quarter of the XX – beginning of the XXI century: to the teacher’s anniversary

The article is part of the circle of scientific local history studies related to the study of universals and the specifics of the musical culture of the regions of Russia. The purpose of this work is to comprehend the creative path of the bright musical and public figure M.I. Benyumov (violinist, teacher, conductor, scientist, organizer) as one of the significant “locomotives” of the processes of development of academic traditions in the cultural life of Krasnoyarsk in the last quarter of the XX – beginning of the XXI century. Some attention is paid to the consideration of various types of musical professional activities of M.I. Benyumov. The appearance and formation of the main “brainchild” of the maestro – the Krasnoyarsk chamber orchestra as a point of intersection of all its different directions of creativity is analyzed. Based on some principles of socioculturological and anthropological approaches, the article for the first time attempts to macroanalyze structural and procedural changes in the musical life of Krasnoyarsk in the last quarter of the XX – beginning of the XXI centuries through an anthropological prism (as microanalysis) – attention to the creative path of a specific person (in our case, M.I. Benyumov). Acting as a fulcrum of the anthropological turn, on the local history material demonstrates the dialectical relationship of the two leading processes of morphogenesis of the system of academic musical traditions – self-organization and institutionalization.
