Приглашаем всех желающих послушать прекрасную музыку российской группы “Файн Стрит”, которая познакомит всех присутствующих с американским музыкальным стилем блюграсс. Этот стиль представляет собой музыкальный феномен, возникший в Америке после Второй мировой войны. Свое название он получил от травы голубого цвета, растущей в регионе штата Кентукки, США. Этот стиль сочетает в себе элементы музыки кантри, блюза и джаза, и он получил огромную популярность в США.

Группа “Файн Стрит” приобрела большой успех в России и получила специальную награду на фестивале блюграсса, прошедшем в Вологде в августе 2010 года. Там музыканты имели возможность играть с группой “Доктор Банджо и его медсестра”, а также с дуэтом из Денвера, которые достаточно известны в кругах музыки блюграсс. Группа также удостоилась чести играть для резиденции генерального консульства США в Санкт-Петербурге, города, откуда родом музыканты.

Если вы любите музыку и хотите больше узнать об американской музыке блюграсс, приходите обязательно!
Мы уверены, вам очень понравится!

Вход бесплатный и свободный для всех!

Понедельник, 15 Ноября, 18:00.

What: "The Art of Expressing Yourself: Creative Writing in the U.S."

By Internationally Acclaimed Author and NYU Professor,
Lara Vapnyar

Ms. Lara Vapnyar is the author of three books: "There are Jews in My House," "Memoirs of a Muse" and "Broccoli and Other Tales of Food and Love," in which she humorously presents tales about love and loss parallel to culinary tastes. She has also had several short stories published in The New Yorker and Harper's Magazine. Reviewers have praised her craft of language, the depth of her subjects and the beauty of her characters' emotional discoveries.


Originally born in Russia, Ms. Vapnyar moved to the U.S. in 1994. Her experiences of both cultures resonate within her fiction writing. Even more remarkably, she did not know English that well before moving to the U.S. Now she is currently an associate professor of creative writing at New York University. She will present exercises in creative writing during her presentation here - full audience participation is expected!
