"Above the Sound". Sergey Bulgadaryan's Solo Concert "Cello Confession", August 19, 2026

🎻 One of the main ideas of the festival is the connection between art and space.

🏛️ Concerts are held near cultural heritage sites, scientific venues, and natural attractions of the region.

🎼 The festival program features chamber ensembles, orchestras, opera, and musical experiments.

🌍 Thanks to the international lineup of participants, the festival becomes a meeting place for different musical traditions over 14 days.

✨ Each performance reveals new facets of art.

🎻 Concert Program:

✨ "Cello Confession" is a solo dialogue concert where the cello becomes the voice of the musician's inner world, and music transforms into a living reflection on feelings, time, and humanity.

🎼 This evening, laureate of international competitions, artist of the P.I. Tchaikovsky Grand Symphony Orchestra, Sergey Bulgadaryan will present a program in which classical works from different eras sound like a single emotional story.

🎶 The cello will speak the language of composers:
• about inner silence and harmony by Bach;
• about bright clarity and balance by Telemann;
• about virtuosic energy and tension by Popper;
• about passion and expression by Kodály;
• about the powerful final impulse of flamenco by Cassadó.

🔥 The contrast of eras, styles, and moods creates the effect of a continuous musical monologue, where each piece becomes a new turn in the inner dialogue.

🎤 The program includes live comments from the performer, turning the concert into a personal artistic statement "here and now."
