On March 1, 2025, a concert of the Gaudeamus Chamber Choir of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University was held at the State University of Management as part of the implementation of inter-university cultural and educational projects to popularize cultural heritage.
Choral music is one of the most democratic forms of art, and the amateur choir “Gaudeamus” is a vivid example of this. It mainly consists of students, graduates and teachers of the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. The founder, artistic director and conductor of the choir is Honored Artist of Russia, Professor Vladimir Zhivov, the conductor-choirmaster is Honored Cultural Worker of Russia, Associate Professor Ekaterina Alikina.
The group introduced the audience to the genre of choral miniatures, performing pearls of Russian classic choral art, works by contemporary composers and Russian folk songs.
The choir specializes in performing music a cappella, i.e. without instrumental accompaniment.
The works of A. Dargomyzhsky, P. Tchaikovsky, M. Glinka, M. Balakirev, G. Sviridov, S. Taneyev, Yu. Falik, M. Parkhaladze, Ts. Cui, Yu. Efgrafov, V. Kalinnikov based on poems by A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, V. Zhukovsky, A. Blok, F. Sologub, I. Brodsky and others were performed.
The concert ended with thunderous applause from the audience and the student anthem “Gaudeamus Igitur”, after which the choir is named.
Instilling a love for good music through choral performance is a wonderful way to introduce students to cultural heritage. Choral singing helps to create a sense of unity and belonging to something big. The audience appreciated the high level of professionalism of the Gaudeamus choir and the emotional depth of the choral performances.
The choir members noted the wonderful acoustics of the atrium of the Information Technology Center of the State University of Management, which helped the performance.
The team thanked the management of the State University of Management for the honor and for the invitation to perform within the walls of the university, which left an unforgettable impression on the team!
Danila Smirnov, a fourth-year student at the State University of Management, shared his impressions of the concert: “I admit honestly, it was my first time at a chamber choir concert and I liked it. You can feel the moderate subtlety, laconicism and sonority of the performance of the works.”
Valeria Polynnikova, an employee of the Department of State and Municipal Management and a graduate of the State University of Management, also spoke about the concert: “It was a magnificent concert! I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent acoustics of our hall: you could hear everything down to the smallest details. The concert itself was very bright, kind and warm. It really seemed that spring was already here, everything would soon bloom, and the air would be filled with birdsong. I was completely delighted and would be happy to come again!”
