In Smolensk will sound modern folk

The Tenishev Center in Smolensk has become a platform for the All-Russian festival “New Folk”, which opens up new facets of folk and ethnic music. The event aims to show how traditions sound today – not in academic terms, but in modern processing.

On the stage of the atrium of the Center will be the finalists from Moscow - the projects "Moriana folk" and "Dark linen".

"Moriana Folk" offers a new interpretation of folklore, where the archaic song acquires a powerful modern sound and is intertwined with current musical styles (from electronics to rock).

“Dark Linen” are professional musicians, graduates of the Gnesin School. They turn Russian folk song into a real performance, filling it with deep meaning and emotions.

The festival will take place on November 14. Entrance by pre-registration (link indicated) or you can specify the details by phone: 20-54-18.

This is a unique opportunity to hear folklore in an unexpected format - live music that connects the past and the present, preserving roots, but speaking in modern language.
