Composer Tikhon Khrennikov (1926–2007) combined his creative activity with public: he led the Union of Composers of the USSR from 1948 to 1991, taught and participated in educational events. The musician said: ‘I cannot imagine creativity without social work, just as social work does not exist without creativity’.
One of the elements of Khrennikov’s educational activities were thematic decades and weeks. For example, decades of military songs, national music, Soviet classics, world opera or folk songs. Most often they took place in small towns. The metropolitan singers and musicians came on tour to perform their works, show the public various musical genres and introduce them to the classics.
In the photo, the author captured the decade of the Soviet song, which took place in Dnepropetrovsk in 1982. You can see the end of the concert and the moment of bows, when applause sounds in the hall and fans give flowers as a token of gratitude. Khrennikov is standing on the stage in the center, holding a bouquet. He is surrounded by colleagues and friends — Lyudmila Lyadova, Yuri Silantyev, Serafim Tulikov, Vladislav Kazenin.
Lyudmila Lyadova is a composer, author of many popular songs, including “Old March” and “Drum”, which were performed by military ensembles throughout the country.
Yuri Silantyev is a Soviet conductor. For 25 years he directed the Pop Symphony Orchestra of the Central Television and All-Union Radio, now — the Academic Big Concert Orchestra named after Yu.V. Silantyev of the Russian State Music TV and Radio Center.
Serafim Tulikov is a composer and pianist. He wrote symphonies, suites, cantatas, operettas, music for films, but he became famous as the author of over 470 songs, including the compositions “Veterans never grow old in soul” and “This never happens again”.
Vladislav Kazenin is a Soviet composer who wrote music for many theatrical performances and cartoons. He became widely known as the author of the soundtrack for the film “Hello, I”m Your Aunt! ”
