Saturday K ^^ FEST SOUND NEO - festival of different and new music in Kirche will be special!              Kiev sound artists and composers Alexey Shmurak and Oleg Shpudeyko / Heinali in alliance with Odessa musicians - vocalist Anastasia Bloch and organist Veronika Struck will present an immersive musical performance based on Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. In addition to the organ and voice, acoustic and electronic instruments will be involved, and the very space of St. Paul's Cathedral will sound.              Fragments of Mozart’s materials, as well as his ideas, will come to life in the context of long-lasting sounds and peculiar sound objects.              Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute” - a combination of comic and magical elements; it is full of rituals and archetypal images recognizable in other myths. The bright guru Zoroaster, the leader of the forces of darkness, the Queen of the Night, their servants and subjects of adventure - the prince and princess, the funny bird creature Papageno - all these images are eternal and do not belong to classical music or to the time of Mozart; rather, they turn to rational thinking, where natural phenomena and spheres have their own soul and will. Not without deification of instruments - the flute is really magical, opening the gate, acting as a kind of initiator in the tale.              Organizer: KGroup Music Art Promo       Press Accreditation: Ann Voloshina               TICKET ORDER AND DELIVERY:       ► ArtBilet 093-989-78-59 and 78-340-88       ► http://bit.ly/soundneo191019       ► at the box office of the city              ABOUT EXECUTORS DETAILSALEXEY SHMURAK - academic composer.
