19.09.2016

The UKOM youth chamber orchestra (Italy) completed a tour in Russia, which was organized with the support of LEXGARANT and various musical and community organizations.

The band UKOM expressed sincere gratitude to all musical and social organizations that gave the orchestra the opportunity to make these tours. For the help in the organization of the Russian tour, "LEXGARANT" was awarded the diploma of the Association "ImaginArte".

UKOM – international orchestra of Association "ImaginArte", which is mainly played by Italian children – pupils of the school named Suzuki in Milan, as well as young musicians from other countries, united by a common desire to play music together with their peers.

All children share a deep educational and spiritual power of music, which is reflected in the name of the orchestra (United Kids Of Music, i.e., "Children, united by music"). Playing music together, children are out of any conventions, political and religious barriers, respecting each other, establishing close human relationships. They get acquainted with their peers from other countries, with other cultures, customs and traditions.

The idea of a tour in Russia, a country with rich musical traditions, was a continuation of international tours of previous years, as well as the consequence of a high level of performance achieved by the children and youth orchestra UKOM.

The tour was attended by 30 children aged 8 to 16 years. Except for the Italians, forming the majority of the orchestra in the team also play French, Bosnian and Bulgarian children, who were joined by young musicians from Russian music schools, as well as members of children's choirs of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

During the tour from 2 to 10 September 2016. concerts were played in music halls of Moscow, Obninsk and St. Petersburg. The program included the works of Italian composers Vivaldi and Verdi, and other famous European composers: Telemann, Grieg, wolf and Britten.

Despite their age, these young people demonstrated professionalism and again proved that beauty and art have no boundaries.
