N'Caged Ensemble - До и после. 2023 - experimental vocal quartet from Russia

GROUND Solyanka Gallery holds an annual festival combining contemporary academic music and the a cappella genre. The program of the 1st festival "Before and After" in 2021 revealed the problems in the sphere of vocal art education. It is a surprising fact, but the programs of Russian music institutions do not include one of the most important instruments - the voice - in the instrumental studies course. This is how the workshop "Voice as an Instrument" founded and conducted by the ensemble N'Caged came into being within the framework of the festival, which fills this essential gap - young composers and performers learn to understand and successfully work with the specifics of writing works for vocals. This album is the result of the educational workshop - a collaboration between the participating composers and the N'Caged Ensemble in 2023. N'Caged: Arina Zvereva Sergey Malinin Olga Rossini Ilya Laptev Composers: Anna Romashkova [1] Alina Mukhametrakhimova [2] Lukas Sukharev [3] Sergey Shestakov [4] Authors: Evgeniya Skokova [1] Irina Anferova, Andrey Grekov, Maxim Kharlamov, Varvara Matveyevicheva [2] Arseniy Osochenko [3] Andrey Abaulin [4] Recorded in the recording studio of the Center for Artistic Production "Vaults" of the House of Culture "GES-2". Festival curators*: Katya Bochavar and Arina Zvereva
