Artistic Director: violinist Anastasia Kozlova

​

When creating music programs for concerts and festivals, Anastasia, armed with her musicality, passion and ability to create a "talking" violin sound, seeks the connection between music and art, poetry, history, movement or science. By combining music with other disciplines, she explores new ways to bring music closer to our experience. Her wish is to involve her audience in the concert and to enrich the listeners, to take home something almost tangible. Her hunger for knowledge, desire to leave a mark and search for spiritual deepening results in creative interpretations of both well-known and little-known music, in ordinary and unusual settings. ​

 

"I believe that music is bigger than sound alone, connecting pieces of music with stories gives us the ability to feel music in almost 3D perception. We can't touch it, but our brains can make it tangible and even tasteful, and that are the connections I always look for. I want my audience to have a meaningful experience during my concerts, almost spiritual. When I work on a piece, I look for the meaning of each note, for the ultimate sound on the instrument and bring I almost speak of that on the violin The color palette in the violin sound is almost endless, and by letting each sound reach your soul, a unique interpretation can be awakened The more interesting persons we are, the way we can be open _d04a07d8-9cd1 -3239-9149-20813d6c673b_​for knowledge makes us better musicians."
