The Central Band of the Navy Will Perform in Kuzminki Park

Go back

Participant of the Russia Navy Day Parade held last Sunday in Saint Petersburg, the Central Band of the Navy named after N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov will perform in the Kuzminki-Lublino Museum Preserve.

This Saturday, August 4, the marathon baton of the “Military Bands in the Parks” program will be passed to Kuzminki Park. As usual the program is being organized by the Spasskaya Tower Festival Directorate with the support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and Government of Moscow.

At 5 p.m. sharp one of the best-known military bands of Russia is going to give a concert onstage of the park’s central square. There is a good reason for this band performing right at the beginning of August. Several days before the forthcoming concert — on the 29th of July — the Central Band provided music accompaniment for the grandiose Russia Navy Day parade which demonstrated all the power and might of the Russian naval and airborne arsenals. Performing in Kuzminki Park will allow the band musicians to bring for the Muscovites and guests of the capital a bit of this remarkable day that has been celebrated in St. Petersburg.

It’s not for the first time in its history which dates back to the 18th century that the park will welcome the sounds of wind music. Over the years of the Golytsins ownership the music pavilion often hosted balls and music soirees. Like several centuries before this Saturday guests of the museum preserve will enjoy themselves in the obscurity of the park lanes and gardens listening to Russian and foreign classical music pieces as well as modern popular compositions. And of course it is hard to imagine the forthcoming concert without songs about the sea and the Russian Navy.

This is the third summer in a row that Moscow’s parks and gardens are being filled with the sounds of music performed by military bands. From May till August like a music marathon concert programs are running across the greenest and coziest venues of the capital.

The concert in Kuzminki Park will last about an hour and the entrance is free (0+).

This year thirteen Moscow’s parks and gardens are taking part in the “Military Bands in the Parks” program. Bands’ performances are beautifully decorated with dancing pairs, participants of the Moscow Longevity program. Another peculiarity of this year’s “Military Bands in the Parks” program is the participation of volunteers from Park Novoslobodskiy Cultural Center.

The concert cycle is going to be adjourned August 18 in the Alexander Garden forestalling ten remarkable evening shows of the vibrant Spasskaya Tower International Military Music Festival which is going to be held on Red Square from August 24 to September 2.
