The exhibition of paintings by St. Petersburg artists:
‘MUSIC OF COLOURS’

The exhibition of the same name had great success during the St. Petersburg Tercentennial celebration three years ago.

The paintings of prominent Petersburg artists provoked the interest of musicians, especially of art colleges’ students. Special attention towards the exhibition was shown by the late composer Andrei Petrov, who gave the event its name — Music of Colours.

The exhibition opened in the Conservatory as part of the Festival and demonstrates that the oldest musical educational institution of Russia not only conserves and develops traditions of musical culture, but also remains a centre of modern art which welcomes masterpieces of different styles and genres. The exhibition is participated in by Irina Birulya, Nadezhda Anfalova, Erwin Vilensky, Liudmila and Alexander Kondurovs, Natalia Tsekhomskaya.

The highly professional level of the works presented is a guarantee of the success of the exhibition, which creates a very special atmosphere of the coupling of two arts — painting and music.
