The annual Chamber Music Festival "Return" will be held at the Moscow Conservatory from January 6 to 12, 2015, marking its 18th edition.
For hundreds of listeners, the first days of the year are as naturally and tightly associated with the Festival as with the winter holidays: January means early evenings, the traditional crowd in front of the Conservatory, a brightly lit, packed hall — "Return".
Over nearly twenty years, the festival has become an extraordinary cultural event with its own mythology and traditions: listeners wait for "Return" from January to January, measure their years by concert programs, and anticipate the posters and booklets like the next episode of a long series.
The festival was founded by violinist Roman Mints and oboist Dmitry Bulgakov, who turned their school friendship into a long-standing creative partnership. During this time, a consistent format took shape: three themed concerts and a final gala. However, the content is always a surprise — the Festival's "hook" is its unique concert programs, unlike any others.
The four concerts take place every other day. Three of them are conceptual “collages”: each program is curated based on a specific principle that gives the concert its title. It might be music composed during wars, for identical instruments; posthumous works or serenades of all kinds; pieces influenced by a major figure like Schumann, or music by composers with mental illnesses. As a result, pre-Baroque works can appear alongside world premieres, and rare bibliographic finds might follow pieces familiar to all.
The result is three unique mosaics: together, several musical texts form a new programmatic meta-text, created for one night only and entirely open to interpretation — from an intellectual puzzle to musical mischief, from curious experimentation to postmodern eclecticism. The concert becomes a riddle, a pastiche, a bold deconstruction: "Return" is, without exaggeration, a rare example of a concert program being treated as a standalone work of art.
But the uniqueness of "Return" is not only in its concepts: the closing concert, traditionally called the "Request Concert", features pieces chosen not by the organizers but by the performers — former schoolmates who now live and perform all over the world, forming an entire generation of modern performers and shaping the contemporary music scene.
Combining features of a connoisseur’s aesthetic event and an all-star show, the Festival does not fit into any conventional category, going far beyond the typical concert experience in Moscow: it is musical modernity in essence — paradoxical, joyful, and smart.
A distinct and important part of the Festival is its rebellious “lyceum spirit” — the participants have become international stars, yet continue to play what they want and with whom they want. The audience is partly “their own”, tested over the years and familiar with each other. That’s why "Return" is also an environment, a circle — not just a musical experience, but a profoundly human one.
