Vitebsk Philharmonic will teach expectant mothers to sing lullabies

October 12, Vitebsk / Sergey Kotovets - BELTA /. The Vitebsk Regional Philharmonic has prepared a cycle of concert and educational programs for expectant mothers called "Weaving a Soul from Notes," during which listeners will not only be introduced to high examples of classical music but will also be able to learn to sing lullabies. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by the artistic director of the Philharmonic, Nelly Matsaberidze. The new musical project will introduce expectant mothers to works from the treasury of world and national musical heritage, which, according to specialists, have a beneficial effect on the woman and her future child, and the live sound of classical music can enhance the positive impact. This is the main goal of the project – to create an unforgettable impression of live interaction with music, a sense of psychological relief and relaxation, and also to help expectant mothers in the development and upbringing of their children. One of the main elements of the programs will be teaching mothers to perform folk lullabies, which will be learned directly during the concerts with the help of Philharmonic artists. "We will try not only to learn the lyrics of lullabies with our listeners but also to master the skills of interaction between mother and child in order to convey the feeling of the magical power of the lullaby genre," emphasized Nelly Matsaberidze. The "Weaving a Soul from Notes" program cycle is being created in partnership with medical institutions in Vitebsk. When attending concerts, expectant mothers will not only be able to encounter high examples of musical classics but also, in a comfortable environment, receive consultations from gynecologists, psychologists, geneticists, and pediatricians on all issues of interest to women during pregnancy. Thus, the result of attending the concert and educational programs will be both musical impressions and a sense of the atmosphere of joyful communication, creativity, and vivid emotions, as well as an opportunity to spend family leisure time pleasantly. "We hope that by creating such a cycle, the Philharmonic will contribute to the development of interesting forms of organizing leisure for women during pregnancy, when they are in great need of support," noted Nelly Matsaberidze. At the same time, attending concerts will be available to everyone. The first performance of the cycle is scheduled for November 20, and the start time of the concerts (16:00) was also specially chosen to suit the capabilities of the target audience of the musical celebration for expectant mothers. -0-
