Not everyone knows that the great Russian composer Alexander Scriabin was the founder of light and music. He was one of the same 1% of people with the rare gift of synesthesia. Alexander Nikolaevich had “color hearing” - listening to music, he could see its light display.
The great composer dreamed of sharing his color vision of music with humanity, so the world's first symphonic work called Prometheus appeared with a separately written light part - “luce” for the instrument “tastiera per luce” (“light clavier”).
Nowadays, not a single big performance is complete without light accompaniment, however, shows where light is synthesized with classical music are extremely rare. One of the most significant such projects is called "Festival of Music and Light" will be held on August 24, 25 in Moscow at the Green Theater of VDNKhorganized by Artnovi company.
The best Russian lighting and media designers came together to create a magnificent show, consisting of classical music and modern visual technologies. Spectators will witness an incredible light and music extravaganza in the open air. This project has already entered the top 10 of the brightest projects in August according to many Moscow publications. The festival program includes bright symphonic works of Russian and foreign composers - representatives of different eras, styles performed by the world famous Russian orchestra, a Grammy award winner - Russian National Orchestra.
The conductor's stand will be taken by two famous masters - Laureate of the President of the Russian Federation - Vladislav Lavrik and conductor of the Musical Theater. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, laureate of the All-Russian Conducting Competition, Honored Artist of the RSO-A (Republic of North Ossetia - Alania) - Timur Zangiev … The magnificent visual component of the project will be created through the use of 3D mapping, generative graphics and dynamic light.
