Event overview
Dmitri Smirnov at 60!

6pm – Dmitri Smirnov in conversation with Alexander Ivashkin
7pm - Recital: music by Dmitri Smirnov. With Alissa Firsova, piano, Harriet Mackenzie, violin, Philippa Mo, violin, Alexander Ivashkin, cello and the Goldsmiths Strings
This is a series of talks and performances focused on the work of Russian/Post-Soviet composers, exploring the impact of political change from different perspectives and cultural positions, and highlighting radically different aesthetic viewpoints. Through the influence or rejection of mainstream European composition and popular music idioms, or via a return to traditional religious and folk elements, Post-Soviet music has forged it's own, sometimes surprising, set of aesthetic controversies.
