Concert “Music and soul” took place in the Moscow Theological Academy
Аристотель сказал, что музыка есть посредник между духовной и чувственной жизнью. Музыка, которая для многих просто искусство, – удивительный результат синергии души и чувств. С древних времен через нее люди делились своими чувствами и переживаниями. Для людей музыка стала и неким личным дневником, который хранил дорогие человеку моменты его жизни. И, как правило, все эти воспоминания пронизаны любовью, что имеет различные грани и отображается в музыке.
On December 5 th a concert “Music and soul” took place in the Elizabethan’s hall of the Moscow Theological Academy. It was hold by the initiative of a third year student Gleb Shumko and his wife Maria Shumko, student of the Crimean Federal university, with the blessing of an administration of the Moscow Theological Academy.
Gleb Shumko:
One evening while my wife was playing the piano, we came up with an idea of this concert. Obviously, being themselves newlywed, we chose love as a main theme. Also it was my wife’s project in the Crimean university, so we thought that our students would benefit from listening to these classical pieces of music. We would like to thank an administration for its help in organizing the concert.
Seminarians and students of a Precentors’ faculty of the Moscow Theological academy performed for students and Academy guests who came to indulge classical music. The former Elizabethan’s dining room and a choice of songs created a special atmosphere of the evening.
During the concert the following pieces of music were performed: “Calling to You, My Lord” I. S. Bach, “In front of the icon of Theotokos” L. Yanachek, “A Girl was singing in a church choir” (music V. Sidorov, lyrics A. Block), “Evening in a harbour” (music V. Solovey-Sedoy, words A. Churkin), a Ukrainian folk song “Dark eyes, black eyes” and songs of I. Zshuravlev and A. Aleksin.
