The VIII International Chamber Music Festival VIVARTE will be held from June 7 to June 11 at the Tretyakov Gallery. This year it is dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sergei Diaghilev, a legendary genius and discoverer of talents who influenced the tastes, fashion, theatrical and visual arts of the last century and largely determined the perception of Russian culture in the West. According to the established tradition, all three festival evenings will take place in the space of the Vrubelevsky Hall.

 

VIVARTE International Chamber Music Festival, inheriting the glorious traditions of the Tretyakov House, is the brainchild of a wonderful team of like–minded people. The authors of the idea and co–organizers of the forum are the world-famous cellist Boris Andrianov, the creative forces of the Tretyakov Gallery and the cultural and charitable foundation "U-ART: You and Art" Iveta and Tamaz Manasherov – famous patrons who support contemporary art in its most diverse manifestations and believe their goal is "to create something positive, kind and right". Like Tretyakov, the Manasherovs have created and are constantly expanding a unique collection of paintings by artists of the twentieth century, finding in it an important "cultural context of the epoch", and in their activities – "a touch to the living history of modernity".
