Voice of Paris: Francis Poulenc

What does Paris sound like? 樂              Francis Pulenck is one of the most amazing composers France gave to the world in the 20th century.       A contemporary of both world wars, he became one of the most significant figures among French musicians of the last century        In the works of Pulenok, as in a drop of water, the events of the last half century of French history were reflected: they left their imprint and the sorrows of defeat, and the joy of victories.       Pulenka’s music is his creative portrait ✨       In his artistic predilections Pulenk was absolutely free, he did not limit himself to any one style, but enthusiastically shuffled different directions. He was a man “who creates his own music”, which organically combines academic classics, jazz, pop️ and folklore motifs.       Pulenka’s music is characterized by a particularly pure Parisian coloring and an inextricable connection with a Parisian street song - chanson.       His melodies, like the tunes of Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, combine benevolent simplicity, subtle emotions, psychological depth and melodic charm.              Touch the unique and romantic atmosphere of Paris in the first half of the 20th century  together with “Spirit of Music” in the format of an interactive concert with a combination of music, video and story рассказ!              The program will feature chamber piano and vocal works by the French composer.              Performed by the band "Spirit of music" ✨ composed of:               Andrey Kharlamov - vocals Ksenia Bahchalova, lead singer of the project “Voice of the Country” - vocals        Praskovya Belkina, Anastasia Ivanova - piano        Arina Znamenok - cello        Natalya Popova - flute              Julia Yurchak - lead, project curator              Special Guest -        Belkina Elena Lvovna, conductor, pianist, Honored Artist of Ukraine
