🎃 A Special Halloween Groupmuse evening!

Singer Anna Aistova and pianist Daria Vasileva lead you through an hour of witches' incantations, drowned lovers, mad scenes, and demons who dance until dawn - songs and piano works, each summoning its own corner of the dark.
The program moves between voice and piano in a single unbroken descent: Rachmaninoff's Pied Piper leads the way, Mendelssohn's witches gather, Glière's mermaid and Dvořák's rusalka call from beneath dark water, and Lucia's mad scene shatters into pure derangement - answered on the piano by Scriabin's visionary Ninth Sonata, the "Black Mass," Medtner's Fairy Tale of the Elves, two scenes from Yarullin's Tatar ballet Shurale (a forest demon and a shaitan's fire dance), and a serenade drawn from Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death.
