“Andalouse variations” (2014) for piano and orchestra

The piece is a concert-like work for solo piano and symphonic orchestra and is based upon the ancient prayer chants of the Jewish communities of the Northern Africa, Spain, Morocco and Andalusia. Tradition going back many hundred years back in time is presented with a new and unexpectedly fresh setup and arrangement. However it is hardly to be overseen that the composer`s own roots are based on European\Russian cultural ground, thus making the fusion between these cultures even more fascinating and intriguing.
