The first concert of the Vitebsk Philharmonic's project for expectant mothers, "Weave the Soul from Notes," will take place on November 20.

November 19, Vitebsk / Sergey Kochetov - BELTA/. The first concert of the Vitebsk Regional Philharmonic's unique project for expectant mothers, "Weaving a Soul from Notes," will be held on November 20. Irina Deryugina, editor of the Philharmonic's concert department, informed a BELTA correspondent about this. The project is conceived as a kind of guide for expectant mothers through the treasury of world and national musical heritage. According to specialists, classical music has a beneficial effect on a woman and her future child, and the live performance of musical pieces can enhance this positive influence. The Philharmonic has been preparing for this project for almost a year. The repertoire for the concerts was selected based on scientific research on the beneficial effects of specific compositions on the well-being of pregnant women and their future children. The program for the project's premiere concert includes works by G. Caccini, C. Debussy, R. Schumann, F. Liszt, W. A. Mozart, V. Kondrusevich, and C. Debussy. The concert will feature performances by Philharmonic artists Oksana Novikova (soprano), Vlad Serpinsky (piano), the instrumental duo "Rasitsa" (Tatyana Movlya, Irina Efimova), Elena Grakova (soprano), Tatyana Shakhrai (concertmaster), and Julietta Tarakhchyan (popular vocal). In addition, expectant mothers will be taught to perform folk lullabies. The organizers will help the attendees not only learn the lyrics but also master the skills of interaction between mother and child to convey the magical power of the lullaby genre. The "Weaving a Soul from Notes" program series is being created in partnership with medical institutions in Vitebsk. When attending the concerts, expectant mothers will also have the opportunity to receive consultations from gynecologists, psychologists, geneticists, and pediatricians in a comfortable setting, addressing all questions of interest to women during pregnancy. A total of six concerts are planned for the project. -0-
