Mulgrew Miller (USA) in Jazz club “Soyuz Kompozitorov” (UCClub)

Mulgrew Miller, a jazz phenomenon born in Greenwood, Mississippi, started performing publicly at the age of nine. Miller performed with, and learned from, both jazz generations - early and modern. As a teenager, he soaked up every kind of music available in his small Southern hometown: blues, country and western, gospel, rhythm and blues, classical European, among others, but when he heard his first jazz record by Oscar Peterson, he found a focus for his passion. His professional career started, aged twenty, with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, led by the late Mercer Ellington. He was one of the founding members of Tony Williams' Quintet. The experience gained with such luminaries allowed Mulgrew rapidly to become established as one of the most in-demand pianists in the New York scene.

‘La Fille Mal Gardée’ in The Bolshoi Theatre

A comic ballet in two acts by Ferdinand Herold, this ballet premièred in Bordeaux in 1789 – two weeks before the fall of the Bastille. It has been revived in a dozen different forms since then.

The plot is simple: a naïve Lise and the young farmer Colas are in love. However, her father intends to marry her to a son of a vineyard owner. As it must, true love prevails, and along the way there are folk dances, harvesters threshing and reaping, and dancing chickens.

Not to mention directors such as Brett Rattner, Shaka Kapur and Natalie Portman, whose stories are interwoven in clever and interesting ways. The movie is not a straight ahead romance or romantic comedy, even though it is both romantic and funny with serious stories and notes. New York, New York…
