On the eve of Victory Day, a lecture by composer Alexander Ivanov dedicated to the work of Boris Tishchenko and his symphony «Chronicle of the Siege», took place in the regional library.

«Chronicle of the Blockade» is not just a piece of music, it is a monumental canvas in which war, destruction, death, overcoming and victory are described by the composer literally, step by step.

The musicologist discussed with the participants the musical features of the symphony: the use of melodies, rhythms and instruments that help to create vivid images and emotions.

The listeners immersed themselves in the atmosphere of the work through listening to the symphony, which conveys a sense of despair, but at the same time, hope and human resilience.

At the end of the lecture, Alexander Viktorovich emphasized that the symphony «Chronicle of the Blockade» is not only a tribute to those who survived the terrible events, but also a call to future generations to remember the importance of humanity, solidarity and fortitude in difficult times.
