“Candlelight Concert. A Romantic Evening in New York. Organ and orchestra.”

We invite you to immerse yourself in the special atmosphere of the most diverse city in the world. Without leaving the walls of the ancient cathedral, you can meet the sunrise in Manhattan, walk to the rhythms of tango and jazz through known and unknown places, remember the inevitable hustle and bustle of the metropolis, and plunge into the stormy nightlife of Broadway.
Such a musical adventure to the sounds of organ and orchestra cannot take place without reference to the classics of the great George Gershwin, a native New Yorker whose vocation was music in a variety of genres and manifestations, and whose true element was jazz.
"Life is a bit like jazz - it's better when you improvise. This statement is attributed to George Gershwin. It is not known exactly whether it is his or someone else's... But the fact is that Gershwin lived and created according to this quote. Thus was born "Rhapsody in the Blues Style" - commissioned to the twenty-five-year-old composer with the sole purpose of seeing what would happen if he tried to combine jazz and classical traditions in one work? First performed in New York on February 12, 1924, "Rhapsody in the Style of the Blues" became a legend. We invite you to convince yourself.
The program of this concert is as exciting and diverse as the famous city itself.
Performers Luca Gadelia - organ, honored artist of the Republic of Abkhazia Moscow Chamber Orchestra Sergey Pospelov - violin, artistic director and conductor

In 2012 Sergey Pospelov participated in the project called "Music of Wieniawski on Stradivarius' Violin" at the Glinka National Museum in Moscow.

In 2013 he performed the cycle "All Sonatas for Violin and Piano by L.van Beethoven" in duet with Margarita Pospelova.

In 2018 Sergey Pospelov played a one-of-a-kind "Concerto Interview". The three stunning instruments of the Italian school – by Nicola Amati, Antonio Stradivari, and Guarneri Del Gesù – were lying in front of the

audience, and the musician played each one of them depending on the piece of the music, and during the breaks he discussed and compared certain musical timbres and masters themselves.

Also in 2018, he performed six sonatas for solo violin and two poems for violin and piano "French Paganini" by Eugène Ysaÿe at the Small Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The complexity of these sonatas surpasses

the caprices of Niccolò Paganini, whereas the poems are the pinnacle of musical thought.

Sergey performed solo concerts in Tel Aviv (Israel), the programs were put on the radio station "Kol Ha Musica") and were received by the Israeli public with great interest.
In 2017 - 2018 he actively toured the U.S. and performed with symphony orchestras led by Anne Herrigan. In 2017, Sergey created his own chamber orchestra, which was named the Moscow Chamber Orchestra. The
first performance took place on the stage of the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory where Sergey Pospelov gave a solo concert accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra. It was also there that Sergey made his
first debut as a conductor. The concert program was broadcast on Radio Orphey.
Six months later, Sergey Pospelov once again took to the stage of the Great Hall of the Conservatory with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra with a new program, where again the musician showed the highest class of skill.
Amid these bright events, the recordings of those concerts were selected for the Euroradio, and from then on classical music lovers in Europe can enjoy them on various radio stations and platforms online.
Also since 2017, Sergey has been perfecting himself as a conductor under his father Sergey Petrovich Pospelov, who has devoted his entire life to music in Russia. For the past decades Sergey's father has been head of the Operetta Theater and the Musical Theater of Opera and Ballet in Rostov-on-Don.
Since 2018, Sergey Pospelov has been a regular guest at the Vladimir Spivakov Moscow International House of Music. His concerts attract great public interest.
Since 2019 Sergey has become a conductor of Dubna Symphony Orchestra.
Since 2020 Pospelov has become an artist of the classical music radio station "Orpheus". In 2022 Sergey took part in the famous Vadim Repin’s "Trans-Siberian Art Festival" in Novosibirsk.In 2023 Sergey won the prize of «440 hertz» competition in nomination «solo with orchestra», where he
performed three violin concertos of XX century in concert. This competition established by Yuri Temirkanov. In Yekaterinburg he took part in the world-famous music festival "Crazy Days", where he played nine concerts
in just three days. In Moscow Sergey played three violin concertos with the symphony orchestra in one evening.

Sergey is also actively teaching and giving master classes throughout Russia and abroad. Now Sergey plays a unique violin made by the Italian master Andrea Gagliano in 1754.
The combination of Sergey Pospelov's talent, determination, and professionalism already allows music critics to say that this young violinist-conductor has very serious prospects.
