On July 17, at 18:30, the gala concert "The Union State Invites..." will take place at the Summer Amphitheater. Leading creative ensembles and performers from Belarus and Russia will appear on stage before the audience.
On the same day, at 20:00, the premiere of the rock show "Matryoshka" will be held at the Vitebsk Concert Hall. The Smolensk Russian Folk Orchestra named after V.P. Dubrovsky and the tribute band "Russ Floyd" will take the stage. Together, they will perform hits of the legendary British band Pink Floyd.
The show's title "Matryoshka" plays on the fusion of classic rock with Russian folk instrumentalism. The orchestra and rock musicians create versions of famous compositions, preserving recognizable melodies while adding new shades.
For audiences accustomed to symphonic tributes, this will be an unusual experience: folk instruments in a rock context sound unexpected and fresh.
On July 18, at 14:00, under the roof of the Vitebsk Concert Hall, the legendary Belarusian State Circus will perform with the program "Circolletto." Spectators and guests will be amazed by gymnasts, acrobats, jugglers, and magicians. The highlight of the program will be a performance by the star clown trio "No Socks," accompanied by the orchestra of the Belarusian State Circus.
The Grand Jazz Orchestra of Pyotr Vostokov will immerse guests in the atmosphere of the golden age of jazz fever, swing, and long queues for dance halls on July 19 at 19:00.
Recreating the authentic sound of the music of that era, using original scores and vintage instruments, the Orchestra presents to its listeners truly unique programs dedicated to outstanding giants of orchestral jazz from completely different eras and styles: from the sweet jazz of the 1920s with violins to the electrified rock of the late 1960s, from light danceable swing to serious large-form compositions, from the authentic sound of mambo and cha-cha-cha to jazz interpretations of Beatles songs and melodies of popular classical music.
