THE FESTIVAL
THAT is NEVER THE SAME
Dear friends!
We invite you to participate in
VIII-th Open Festival-Contest for young composers
"Music my soul" which takes place in Petrozavodsk
(Karelia, Russia) on 10-12th of January 2014.
... There are some kids like this. From the first look they may seem very strange, out of the world, some strange ideas, strange questions, absent look. Possibly there is him in front of you - the young composer. And each of his opus - is invaluable, because there is a reflection of his emerging vision of the world. How we can help him to focus his creative imaginative mind into the right direction to the happy and implemented professional adulthood?
At first place, the profession of composer is very popular nowdays: the soundtrack to a film, the music in concert hall, theatre, pop sceene, education... Even for making a cell ring tone you need a composer. But how to help the young composer to find his own path? The International Open Festival-Contest "Music - my soul " will help children and their teachers and parents to solve this difficult issue and realise this rarest talent.
The Festival - Contest of young composers " MUSIC - MY SOUL" was born at the Children's Music and Choir School in 2001 and was held every two years. The main inspirer, artistic director and participant of this event is composer and teacher of the composition class Victoria Sergeenko. The idea of the festival is supported by the Administration of Petrozavodsk, Russian Union of Composers , composition classes of Karelian music schools. In 2011, the festival has acquired the status of All-Russian Festival which is open also to international guests. A bird with a wide wingspan - as a symbol of free flight of creative thought from reality to cyberspace and back - has become a symbol of the Festival.
Every year the Festival is moving to become and Academy of Arts for participants. Each time we have discovered new areas of
works and nominations:
