🎼 Festival Closing Program:

🌌 The closing of the fifth anniversary season of the "Above the Sound" festival is the final chapter of a grand musical journey, where different eras, styles, and artistic worlds converge on one stage.

🎻 The chamber ensemble of the Rostov Academic Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anton Shaburov, will guide listeners through a subtle and profound dialogue of music about humanity, memory, and infinity.

🌙 The concert program is structured as a movement from the inner world to the cosmos:
• Edward Elgar's lyrical and transparent Serenade for Strings reveals the tenderness and vulnerability of human emotions;
• Toru Takemitsu's poignant "Nostalgia", dedicated to the memory of Andrei Tarkovsky, immerses the listener in a state of contemplation and silence;
• and the finale features the bright and harmonious Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, filled with clarity, joy, and hidden depth.

✨ This evening combines chamber refinement, philosophical contemplation, and classical clarity of form, creating a sense of a completed journey—from personal experience to universal harmony.
