Now composer and pianist Fyodor Biryuchev is being joined by cellist Gabriella Swallow, violinist Roman Lytwyniw and vocalist Alexandra Kenenova for Rachmaninoff Variations at the National Liberal Club on 28 November 2023.
The concert will in fact be celebrating multiple anniversaries. Not only does 2023 mark the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninoff's birth and 85th of his passion, but the concert coincides with Fyodor Biryuchev's 30th birthday! Following the performance on 28 November, Rachmaninoff Variations is being taken on tour, see Fyodor Biryuchev's website.
The evening will present a blend of Rachmaninoff's works and modern narratives as the musicians are joined by actors from Moscow's Theatre.doc, now residing in London, who will perform readings from Rachmaninoff's diaries and his peers' messages. These pieces, drawn from historical archives and modern digital platforms, resonate with the theme of disconnection from one's cultural roots.
The concert is part of the R.A.C.H. (Real Artistic Charity House) project, dedicated to supporting artists displaced by conflict. Proceeds from the concert will support R.A.C.H., a charity founded in 2023 by Fyodor and his associates to aid musicians and composers from conflict-affected regions, honouring Rachmaninoff's legacy as a humanitarian and artist.
