This is a series of talks and performances focused on the work of Russian/Post-Soviet composers, exploring the impact of political change from different perspectives and cultural positions, and highlighting radically different aesthetic viewpoints. Through the influence or rejection of mainstream European composition and popular music idioms, or via a return to traditional religious and folk elements, Post-Soviet music has forged it's own, sometimes surprising, set of aesthetic controversies.
This series of performances and talks will feature the work of composers from former Soviet countries, composers who remained and developed their work in Russia, and Russian composers based in the UK.
