Aleksiy Botvinov, founder and the President of the Odessa Classics Festival, has prepared a gift for all music lovers for the Independence Day of Ukraine.

The concerts will be accompanied by modern video installations VJ Videomatics.

Visualization is made with intent. Each of us, when listening to classical music, imagines something. The light score expresses the author's personal idea, where with the help of his partner, video artist VJ Taras Videomatics, Alexey showed what he sees in music. The colored image helps to capture the most subtle nuances of the musical language. This can be seen as a new step in the development of musical art. The audience of music lovers is expanding significantly.

The creator of video installations believes that in order to achieve vivid effects, it is necessary to use the symbiosis of the created images with psychedelic images that exist and are already familiar to a certain part of young people, which are used, for example, even at discos. He believes that such a unique combination of music and video installations can be a kind of impetus for a revival of interest in classical music, especially among young people. Sacred geometry - the creation of light and consciousness.

The concert programme includes works by Ukrainian classics and modernity - Mykola Lysenko, Myroslav Skoryk, Jan Freudlin, Crimean Tatar genius composer Alemdar Karamanov, and the world musical heritage - Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Tchaikovsky. The Odessa National Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Hobart Earl takes part in the concerts.
