Lecture-concert “Secret Signs of Culture” with Mikhail Kazinik
An educator and musician, art historian and philosopher, and author of the bestseller “The Secrets of Geniuses”, Mikhail Kazinik is known for his concerts and lectures in which he reveals hidden meanings and cultural codes in the works of great minds.
Why don’t we know how to truly listen to classical music—and how should we listen to it? What do we not know about the great musicians of the past? What new things can be heard in the Moonlight Sonata or Mozart’s symphonies? What mysteries are hidden in the canvases of famous painters? What secret meaning is encrypted in Pushkin’s well-known verses?
No one knows the exact answers to these and many other questions—but Mikhail Kazinik will help you take a few steps closer to uncovering these mysteries in the program Secret Signs of Culture. He doesn’t recount the composers’ biographies; instead, he offers keys to understanding their work, interprets familiar things in new ways, and breaks down long-held stereotypes.
Participating in the concert:
- Boris Kazinik (violin),
- Irina Patsevina (violin),
- Maxim Shatalkin (piano)
Duration: 2 hours without intermission.
At the performance there will be an opportunity to purchase books by Mikhail Kazinik.
After completion there will be an autograph session.
