This topic is more relevant than ever, because around the world there is a real boom in the construction and reconstruction of concert halls and musical theaters. Ahead here are Japan and China, there are dozens of them under construction. But in Europe in recent years, such iconic venues as the Elbe Philharmonic in Hamburg, the Paris Philharmonic, the House of Music in Helsinki, the Concert Hall in Berlin have opened. Russia is also actively involved in the process, and over the past 10-12 years from Moscow to Vladivostok, halls and musical theaters have been opened, built, reconstructed or planned in such quantity and quality that we have not known for a long time. In addition, the organizers of festivals and concerts today are looking for very unusual places for projects: abandoned factories, cellars, stations, metro stations, museum spaces, as well as open areas - in parks, forests, on the banks of rivers, lakes and ponds, city squares, castles and fortresses. Artists, music critics, journalists and managers participate in the programs of the cycle and, of course, the music recorded in the specific hall in question sounds. *** Author and presenter - Olga Rusanova Director - E.
