Beijing, September 30 (Xinhua) — On September 27, the Tomsk Philharmonic's Phaeton String Quartet performed at the Majiapu Cultural Center's concert hall. The concert became a true journey across continents and eras for a Chinese audience, the Russian Cultural Center in Beijing reported on its public account on the Chinese social network WeChat.
Renowned for their unique approach to classical music, the Phaeton Quartet masterfully transforms complex academic works into captivating stories full of emotion and meaning. Their performances always offer an immersive musical experience, profound interpretation, and a genuine passion that the artists convey to every audience member.
The concert program included immortal works by Russian composers, whose music constitutes the golden fund of world classics.
The audience also received a surprise. The quartet's virtuosos performed Chinese melodies, presented in exquisite modern arrangements by Russian composers. This creative experiment demonstrated not only the musicians' technical mastery but also their ability to find subtle connections between different cultures.
The audience was absolutely delighted. A thunderous ovation reverberated under the concert hall's vaults, confirming the success of this unique program. With their performance, the Siberian quartet "Phaeton" once again proved that true music knows no bounds.
As a reminder, the Phaeton String Quartet was founded in 2011 in Novosibirsk. The young musicians, then still students, aspired to high art and felt an irresistible attraction to the quartet genre. In the first years after the ensemble's founding, the best students, graduates, and faculty of the Novosibirsk Conservatory performed with the quartet. Since 2020, Phaeton has become part of the Tomsk Philharmonic.
