Traditional Russian Songs - lecture and concert by Polina Proutskova
Russia was once a landscape of manifold and lively local musical
traditions, mostly extinct today. The intense, open, endlessly flowing
sound of a village song that developed and crystallized through
centuries informed many Russian composers from Glinka to Stravinsky.
In today’s Russia more than 2 million people are involved into the
folklore revival movement.
Polina Proutskova, ethnomusicologist and a performer of Russian
traditional songs, introduces the audience to Russian traditional
music and guides it through various genres and local traditions.
