The main result of the year is the final of the All-Russian competition of young talents “The Blue Bird”, in which my student Volodya Ivanov performed with Alexei Rybnikov and the orchestra under the direction of Yuri Medyanik, performing a beautiful melody from the movie “Star Boy” ✨ Thank you very much to the wonderful jury – Denis Matsuev, Oleg Pogudin, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Sergey Bezrukov. ?
Many thanks to Alexei Rybnikov – it is extremely pleasant and joyful that the beautiful, legendary composer personally supported Volodya’s performance! By the way, back in the mid-70s, Alexei Rybnikov used theremin in the soviet film “Big Space Travel” ✨✨✨
It is a great honor, it is very important and valuable that theremin, in the year of its century, was presented in this context, in such a beautiful project.
Thanks to the distinguished Jury for their support, for a special grant to the Russian Theremin School – this is a great event for the history and development of theremin in our country, for the Russian Theremin School, our family and me personally – it was unexpected and very pleasant, it is a lot of support and inspiration for us, it is very it is important to form a certain understanding and performing tradition on the theremin in Russia and it was
wonderful to be with the “The Blue Bird” at the year of centennial of the theremin.
