Radio Orpheus will mark the centenary of the October Revolution with the premiere of a symphonic poem by the world-famous GULAG prisoner.

Orpheus radio station and PJSC Unipro present a new stage of the multimedia project “Reviving the legacy of Russian composers. Unknown Mosolov ". The third project is timed to coincide with the centenary of the revolutionary events of 1917 and is dedicated to the first avant-garde artist of the 20th century - the composer Alexander Mosolov, widely known in the 1920s and 1930s. and almost forgotten these days. Back in the early 1930s, Mosolov was sent on a business trip to the Gulag for two weeks to work on the music for the film Prisoners, based on Nikolai Pogodin's play The Aristocrats. For more than two weeks Mosolov worked in the Medvezhyegorsk camp on the shores of Lake Onega, whose prisoners sawed wood for the Belomorkanal. In the notorious 1937, Mosolov himself was sentenced to eight years in prison in Volgolag. However, even in the camp the composer remained himself and nurtured the idea of ​​a harp concerto in three parts. Nikolai Myaskovsky and Reingold Glier were not afraid to stand up for the convict, and in August 1938 the composer was released.

After his release, Alexander Mosolov continued composing music, but his name was deleted from the history of Soviet musical culture for a long time. Until now, most of the composer's legacy has not been published and performed, much has been lost forever. Thanks to the research activities of Radio Orpheus, the scores were selected and restored, and after 90 years the forgotten music of Alexander Mosolov will sound again on the stage.

The dedication concert will take place at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory on September 27, 2017. The evening will open with a film about the composer "Casus Mosolov". At the concert, the Orpheus Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sergei Kondrashev, the State Academic Moscow Regional Choir.

- March of athletes;
- Gazebo in the park;

4. Symphonic poem;

The goal of the project “Reviving the Heritage of Russian Composers” is to give a second life to lost music, to show how rich and diverse the Russian musical heritage is and to restore historical justice by including previously unplayed works in modern posters. The uniqueness and versatility of the project is evidenced by the stages of work: selection of the rarest scores in the music library, restoration of sheet music, work on a documentary film, studio recording of little-known works of the musician, a cycle of radio programs about the life and work of the composer, release of a triple CD, performance of restored works, as well as placement of concert and studio recordings on the air of Radio Orpheus and on the server of the European Broadcasting Union.

The second part was timed to coincide with the 125th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian conductor, pianist, composer, choirmaster, teacher, People's Artist of the USSR, four times Stalin Prize laureate Nikolai Golovanov.
