On September 4, 2022, in the Great Hall of the Primorsky Stage, the concert will be given by the State Symphonic Orchestra Symphonica ARTica of the State Philharmonic of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The concert program embraces The Greeting Overture by Berestov, the Symphonic suite “The Three Wonders” from the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan by Rimsky-Korsakov, the famous Le Poème de l’éxtase (The Poem of Ecstasy) by Scriabin, the Divertimento from the ballet Le Baiser de la fée (The Fairy’s Kiss) by Stravinsky, and other compositions.

Founded in 2012, the State Symphonic Orchestra Symphonica ARTica can perform compositions of any complexity from Mozart and Vivaldi to monumental canvases by Mahler and Wagner and works by composers of the 21st century. The first concerts given by the Symphonica ARTica Orchestra in May and July 2012 featured musicians of the Yakutia Philharmonic, the Mariinsky Theatre, the Krasnoyarsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, the Novosibirsk, Irkutsk and Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestras, the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra, the State Hermitage Orchestra as well as performers from Spain, China and other countries.

The Symphonica ARTica Orchestra frequently performs on tour; it is a regular participant in the International Music Festival The Northern Lights and the Moscow Easter Festival in Yakutsk. It appears at the Concert Hall of the Mariinsky Theatre, the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatoire, the Moscow Philharmonic, and the Saint Petersburg State Capella, and collaborates with many renowned conductors and musicians.

“This is a result of many years of activity of the Higher School of Music and traditions which were set up in Yakutia by Galina Krivoshapko, Honored Artist of the RSFSR and People’s Artist of Yakutia, and other outstanding musicians in the 20th century. We are very glad that over the years of the Orchestra’s existence, we have come to such artistic achievements. We have good instruments and – this is the essence – we have young promising musicians who play confidently and feel music subtly. Far from every region of our big country can afford to found, for such a short period, the orchestra which will be among the best,” said Tuyaara Pestryakova, General Director of the State Philharmonic of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

During his visit to Yakutia in 2021, Valery Gergiev, Artistic Director of the Mariinsky Theatre, noted that the construction of the new hall of the State Philharmonic was the most important stage of its development.
