hello, you are watching the program say don’t be silent, svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana sherbina are in the studio. and today our guest is the talented, original dulcimer player from lepel, anna sharkovskaya. anna, good afternoon, good, hello anna, at the very beginning let me congratulate you on the past day of cultural workers, a certain recognition. your talent from the state, you were awarded gratitude to the minister of culture for many years of conscientious work and professionalism. was it unexpected? no, why expected? i was counting on this gratitude, i knew, but it was nice , of course, well, describe your feelings when they simply appreciate, respect and love your work, of course, it’s nice when you do something and not just for... yes

, when it is appreciated, that is, it is very important for an artist, that’s it, it’s important, yes, support and recognition exactly, uh -huh, anna, congratulations, i join in the congratulations, but we can say that, in principle, fate does not offend you for awards, you are three-time winner of the student agrarian spring competition in vitebsk, twice laureate of the republican trade union competition new names of belarus, laureate of the first degree of the international festival in bulgaria wave of ideas and the international festival rainbow over: vitebsk, of all that we have listed, what warms the soul most? well, firstly, of course, this is not all , these are not the first and last diplomas, there are still a lot of diplomas, from this year, i have a grand prix, in russia, there was an international festival brighter than the sun, i have a grand prix there , of course, there are a lot of competitions that were stationary, when there was... a lot

wardaka everything hangs, anya, so you are so greedy donograd, no, i’m not greedy, i just like it, and what does this participation in competitions give an artist, i assert myself, that is , recognition of your talent is important to you, yes, this is important to me. what age is it acceptable for an artist to participate in competitions or is it all infinitely different , they are all not just infinite, they are all different, somewhere up to thirty, somewhere up to thirty, somewhere 50 plus, yeah, well, you for you now feel that you will be 50 years old, and you will want to continue to prove something to someone, that you are worthy, 50 is probably no longer there, but maybe not, denis klyavi visited us once.

russian performer, he said that at one time he did not participate in competitions, but now, yes, he believes that we need to keep up with the times, and he also shares your position that competitions are good, they are an opportunity for self-realization, and well once again test yourself for strength, for some professional qualities, to get it right for a very long time, i’ll think later, you and i let's meet after 50 and discuss this topic, festivals in bulgaria are a wave of ideas - was this... your first experience of participating in an international festival? at the international festival it turns out to be the second, because the first experience was within the framework of the rainbow slavic bazaar over vitebsk, but i was there alone, and this international festival, it was a festival of orchestras in bulgaria, and i went there as part of our dulcimer orchestra of the vitebsk school , salertinsky, led by conductor sergei valentinovich timoshenko, and at that moment i already... i was no longer studying, i

i went blindly to rehearsals with them, so we had an experience, we went as an orchestra to bulgaria , and we became first-degree laureates there, among the orchestras, there were different orchestras, both folk and symphonic, here we are tsembalny, there were a lot of us there, and this is there was, the first joy, that we were able to do it, the best, after all, of all these competitions, one was remembered most of all, most of all it was my first between. rainbow over vitebsk, when i played there for the first time alesandra sofinata blindfolded, and when in the morning i they called from vitebsk and said , tomorrow at 10 am you should be at the philharmonic with cymbals, you have a first degree laureate among 1,000 people, there were more than ten countries in the world, and you are playing in a halo concert and you should be here tomorrow, for it was a shock to me. such a pleasant shock, this was the first

international competition, what did you feel when you came out on stage? it was scary because the premiere was blindfolded, then it was scary. by the way, let's see, we have, well, not from the slavic bazaar, in 2017 year, there were new names in belarus, yes, let 's see, you performed this particular composition,

can you play many compositions blindfolded? if you learn it, unlearn it, then of course you can , well, how long did it take you to prepare, oh, it was a very long time , for the competition we probably took a good month to prepare, because it was the first time to play blind, it was scary, it now it’s like, why then did they decide to perform it with their eyes closed, it’s even i didn’t decide, at that time i was working at lepel, at... the agricultural college and there was this tatyana goldina, she worked with me, i taught vocals and she was a cultural organizer there and she was the first to nominate me for the veterinary academy , student agrarian spring, again, i went there for the first time, i think i played the libertang astor

piezola, so i took a diploma as a finalist, instrumentalist, this was my first, as it were, republican festival, then we went for the second year, i think played ivaldi storm, and then she just sat down and said : why are you all the classics, and give michael jackson , for me it was a shock, i say, in the sense of michael jackson, you try, we tried, i have a diploma again and these blindfolds , she says to me: “anh, i believe in you, come on, and i, yes, she told me, we were blindfolded and it didn’t work the first time, and missed the note, as my college conductor, barbell, would say now, he’s for the whole time i laughed, they didn’t end up somewhere among the orchestral players again , the barbell, so did i, yes, i learned to play blind, well, then i learned the result, the result is obvious and, in fact, brought success, but this must be quite virtuoso mastery of the instrument , i played the violin, there

are only four strings, and here there are 78, and here there are 78, that is, well, how does this happen in your head in order to correctly hit the required string with hammers, well, i’m just saying, it takes so many years for it to become automatic, it was scary in music school, it was scary in the first years of college, when you didn’t you understand what you are doing and how, and then, when you work, now it's the dulcimer, that's really my job, when i come to work at 8:00 in the morning, from 8 to 8:00 i just stand at the dulcimer, i play, i learn something, constantly, i i’m doing something, i have from solo concert to solo concert, this year already in january... my sixth solo concert, and now it’s just become my job, what am i saying, it’s just automatic, well, it’s a pleasant job , of course, that is, this is a hobby that has grown into work, yes, i remember, i was little, i probably tried three times quit music school, quit?

yes, yes, i didn’t want to, no, well, then my mother already said, i understood, but how did you basically decide that you would play this particular instrument, why not the piano or the violin, for example, i don’t know, somehow this is how it happened, she says, i was in the second grade, it was back in 1997, and somehow at that time the teacher of the music school himself came to our home, that’s how it happened, because i realized that choreography - this is definitely not my thing, we tried to go to the theater too, but i wasn’t even then she grew up, they said come next year, then one day a music school teacher came, but dad already said, daughter, wherever you want, just not the violin, i ask you, just audition, well, come on, here it is left, and what does dad do? , i was afraid for the violin, he thought you would torture it, yes, probably while it’s little, apparently, yes, yes, then, when

you’ve already taught it, i tormented the cymbals as a child, it was bad for the neighbors there, well, because the instrument is loud, are there any other musicians in the family? no, that is, you are the only one, one might say, a pioneer in this , well, not exactly a pioneer, my grandmother had three classes of a music school on the buyan, that’s all, it’s considered, yes, but what about some other instrument? when i entered masherov university, there were no cymbals there, the main instrument there was the piano, the additional instrument was the bayan, and for me it was a shock, well , you could play the piano, of course, i took the exam there in piano, they taught me there, well, it’s not like i’m already a dog somewhere, but here they’ve already taught me, well, an additional tool the accordion was a shock for me, but still, even at masherov’s concerts there are cymbals, cymbals, cymbals anyway... there are cymbals, well, somehow i finished, fardupiana, thank god.

anya, please tell me, when you participated in various, say, international competitions during the pandemic, and if you performed there with your eyes closed, it all happened online, were you not accused of cheating on something? no, no, no, they also had conditions there, that the video was 3 minutes long, so that there wouldn’t be a plus there, like now this is said for live sound, please, everything is on youtube. let's watch another short fragment of one of your speeches.

how was she even born? the idea of ​​playing a folk instrument, modern tracks, i probably watched a lot of youtube, there is this

stapler, david garrett, i saw him for the first time when he played the violin of a pirate of the caribbean, the same michael jackson, i understand, simply, that violin notes, they are similar to cymbals, they fit violin notes onto cymbals, so i started something on it filming, trying, of course, this is sometimes very difficult to do when you look on the internet, there is a minus, there are no notes, or there are notes, there is no minus, there are a lot of works that do not fit the cymbals at all, i watched a lot of videos, those same cellists, they play such things, there is a duet of cellists , in my opinion, not british, two boys, they play such things tremendously, but cellos, cymbals are all taboo, no matter how much i tried, no, but violin notes , yes, even if there are no notes, i i choose it myself, i myself? rumor, yes, i even have so many youtube, tiktok, a lot of comments, give me the notes, but where

can i get them for you, i don’t have them, but i have all the notes here, that is, even when you picked this melody, don’t write it down on paper, there’s no need, it’s all put aside in your head, yes, but i must say that you have an excellent artistic sense and so, in modern terms, sense, because this is the most fashionable autumn composition in all minsk transitions, yes, yes, yes. you played ever in transition? no, when we went to the slavic bazaar, my sound engineer and i walked past a pedestrian crossing there, there they were singing guitars, that’s all, and he said to me: come on, while there is time, i say, you’re crazy, with this sound cymbal, you want the transition to fall apart, well, because the sound is colossal, there are guitars in the transition, if i bomb there with cymbals, he laughed, said, well , it’s a bad idea, it’s not necessary, but overall it’s not weak for you, no,

to work in a passageway or as a street musician, absolutely, how you decide what to perform, that’s how you chose, here’s the king and the jester, or, i say again , you have to listen to it, you have to listen to everything, i look at everything on the internet, i liked the composition there, even if there are notes, i downloaded them , i start playing, sometimes i understand that something is wrong, then i even call my colleagues , it’s clear that i’m alone, and i’m a musician and i... well , there’s something i don’t like here, my family is standing there big rdk everyone is listening, well, if yes, then they are all, anya, yes, if not, then no, and just somehow... it so happened that i i say, cymbals are apparently created for rock, rock rests on the cymbals, almost all rock, i don’t know, i don’t even remember how i got to it, but come on king jester, come on, come on queens, come on, let’s hand over there dragon, here i even think it was my fourth or fifth solo concert, there was only rock, there was rock, there was a film group, there

was someone else there, but in life, what kind of music do you prefer? this, well, that is , rock is closer to you, but i’ll think about it, but just when i was tormented all my life in music school at college classics, and there you have no choice, they gave you a living, you will play it, like it, don’t like it, you will play it, but now i only play what i like, the classics are already completely, well, i say, if necessary, of course, i will learn, i will play, the same thing, how i laugh, for so many years i have been playing modernity, as they say in foreign modernity, that’s all, i don’t play folk music, again. in the sense that i don’t play it, they’ll tell me, anya, i need a polka, i’ll play a polka, well, no, i don’t play folk music, and the audience has a request for the classics, for the folk, or they still have great pleasure - with great pleasure, and just when i had my first solo concert, again there were very few people in the hall, there was my

family, there were my friends, well, close friends of friends, there were less than a crawl of people there. because people didn’t go, well, again, lepel is a small town, i just heard rumors about why we’re going there, these are zembalas, now a girl in a folk costume, a kokoshnik, will come out and play, i don’t know, a polka belarusian, and the girl came out and started playing rock music, then the nigga walked around the city, i saw that the second solo concert was already crawling, the third was a big half, there were no tickets at all for the fifth solo concert, you are now performing not only in lepel? not only in lepel, in the district, in the region, there is a request, yes, that is, a request, it’s not you yourself who are taking the initiative that i want to speak there, no, a lot of people, now, as you say, it’s already word of mouth , they write a lot on tiktok, and when is there a concert in minsk, when concert in vitebsk, come to ushachiy, come to chashniki, come there, come here, a lot of people just

write to me in a personal message that we want to see you there here and there, and well, i say again, today i am an employee of the lepel district house . culture, all questions are officially through the director, i go through the director, order concerts, so we went to july 3rd in chashniki, we gave a concert, there on the day of writing we were also in chashniki, we were in ushachi, we go, no questions, they order , they want, please, we never refuse anyone, well, we performed at the slavic bazaar, don’t forget, we were at the bazaar, well, besides the slavic bazaar, what other concerts or events are you planning to attend, say in the republican? plan, where will they invite us to go? we are not proud, we welcome all suggestions, so, well, in the future, we were just preparing for the program with tatyana today, in the loudspeaker we discussed that in the near future there will be a concert in the minsk arena of a famous performer, who will have a concert for 3 days in a row and there are no tickets, so you set such

a high bar for yourself, to collect some very a large hall, but probably not yet, why? i felt good in lepel, well, it’s good in lepel and maybe more people will come to lepel, but it’s just that what you do is really very original, you wouldn’t want as many people as possible, as i told my sound engineer, maybe a couple more years and we’ll go to crocus, as far as i know, not much music has been written for cymbals , yes, here are the sheet music themselves, yes, you yourself tried to write something, maybe then you would be able to take a swing at the minsk arena , no, i i didn't write anything. the dulcimer is not such a popular instrument in belarus, it turns out, well, like the dulcimer, even as i say, these are orchestras, zhenovich, they play folk music, they play smolsky’s concertos, and i played in the orchestra when i was in college, and dulcimer, even if you open youtube, there are mostly classics, folk music, zhinovich’s concerts, something else, now that i

’ve already left, and at work they laugh at me, showing me tiktok and saying, anya, they’re pissing you off, because i’m here.. .after me, i certainly don't i want to brag, but after me it went, and i look, there’s someone federico filini playing, there’s someone playing that same raspberry all for me at work, anya, i say, well , let it be, i’m pleased, but what , why not, well, in general, the very fact that our dulcimers are not very popular, so you say that even when you entered the university, there were no dulcimers, and this is our folk instrument, well, they didn’t have one specialty, that’s why isn’t it a shame that we don’t popularize our folk instruments, well now you to popularize, of course, well, so that even at the university, he says, then maybe it wouldn’t be offensive, then it was a shock that i studied the cymbals for so many years, then she came and said to me: and today you are piano and bayan, in sense?

i didn’t give up on smbala, i didn’t give up, i was everywhere there, and even when i was studying by correspondence, the dean’s office called me, anya, we have there so many years old mosherov, i need to come, i need to play, i flew blindly to vitebsk, i played back and went back, well, there’s something to think about, actually. yes, well, we are pleased that our guest is not just a performer who plays the cymbals and preserves our folk traditions, but introduces rocker traditions, let’s take a break for a moment, we’ll discuss this in a break, our telegram channel, don’t be silent, subscribe, suggest guests ask questions, we are in touch. their passion and hobby is their favorite job. after completing my diplomatic

career, in january 2014, i was invited by the national olympic committee to head the belarusian golf association. behind the heroes have a lot of interesting stories behind them. my partners and i decided. do what we were afraid to do before, bring here varieties of european hazelnuts, try to grow them in belarus, in the first grade i had to take care of chickens, in the second grade i was assigned to take care of ducks, getting to know them will leave a vivid impression, golf is a sport that is built on complete trust, this is a hazelnut maternity hospital, here mothers, maternal roots, give birth to seedlings, watch the belarus project on the belarus 24 tv channel.

the program “don’t be silent” is on air again, and today our guest is the talented dulcimer player from lepel, anna sharkovskaya. anna, you were born and you... sculpted, graduated from a children's art school there in the dulcimer class, studied in vitebsk at college at the university, but still returned to work in

your hometown, such a beauty, big cities did not attract you, no , i love my city, my family is there, my friends are there, my relatives are there, my people are there, so i feel comfortable in lepel, do you have some kind of place of power there? the whole city is mine a place of power, you are filled with energy there, yes, but what about so that everyone understands that you are in the city of lepel, something so unique that it won’t let you go, me and my concerts, you don’t want to live in a big city, i lived in vitebsk for 6 years, and i returned, no, what does dulcimer player anna sharkovskaya dream of? as a woman, as a musician, as a musician, worldwide recognition, so that they can see me, so that they believe in me, they have already slammed me, they believe a lot and they already see me,

thanks to the people who believe in me, and in a purely feminine way there is some kind of... it's a dream, but that's all i have ok, i have it, i have a loved one, and i have a beloved mother, everything is fine with me, you worked for 2 years in the lyavonikha dance ensemble, yes, what did working in this honored team give you? which has existed since 1954, i played there in their accompanying group and thanks to lavonikha, in 2 years of work i traveled the whole world with them, we were in spain, we were in germany, in switzerland in genevi, wherever we were, thanks to this team, that with them i saw the world, it was in spain that there were two festivals, they we were remembered for the fact that, firstly, i could say then that the little girl came abroad for the first time. and when there were such groups, both brazil and mexico, these costumes, these groups, they walked around just opening their shorts, it was so interesting,

they showed interest in you, that’s when i played belarusian, they came up, of course, looked, and what this, and how is this, and what are these same brazilians, mexicans, they don’t have that, uh-huh, uh-huh, and in general, of course, a lot, so we have a military sanatorium in lepel, where people rest there are a lot of russians and we sometimes go there with concerts, specifically at the regional cultural center, a lot of russians look at me and say, is that a harp? these are not gusli, these are belarusian cymbals, after... that my colleagues said you are no longer anka sharkovskaya, you are now anka sadko, i say, thank you, and yes, they laugh at me, it’s still a gusli, well, you’ve already mentioned , now you work at the lepel house of culture, where quite a few young specialists came to work, and, well, i don’t know, you were entitled to some benefits as a young specialist? no, i i didn’t come there as a young specialist to work, i had already finished my studies at the university, and i

just came to lepel. she came to the house of culture herself and said: take me, there was a vacancy, yes there was a vacancy, again , yes, i worked as a harmester then, then i left the house of culture, i worked for us at the lepel agricultural technical college, then i returned back to the house culture, i was no longer a harmester, i was already an accompanist, so i stayed, but they accompanied me on the piano on cymbals or cymbals, only on cymbals, and this was perceived as normal, yes, that was enough, the collective of the comic song grymzoli, uh-huh, in which i also sing there, and when i came to the rdk, i started, there are even accompanying people, we have button accordion players there, here i am cymboli players, and we played, yes, folk ones, they sang, we played, but now it’s kind of fallen apart that we don’t have much, we don’t have an accompanying group, we just sing, with a backing track, we sing with a backing track, and we sing belarusian songs in modern arrangements, we also went with

grmsols in dubrovno, the regional festival took the second degree laureate, well in modern processing of belarusian songs, who arranges this modern arrangement, accompanist gremzoli, we have this irina busova, she finds everything, she looks by the voices, who suits what, she finds it all, she sorts it out by parts, by voices, we just need to learn a small matter, uh-huh, ah, well, you are so obviously active and efficient, how is your relationship with your management today? you said a little higher that if they call you there and tell you when it will be a concert, how to organize it, you send everyone to the director, everything is through the director, everything is through him, but you feel help from management and support, from her i feel colossal help and colossal support, thank you to her, she helps me, she promotes me, if anything happens, anya, i need to go, let’s go, elena semyonovna, her name is ozarenok, what a beautiful surname, known

to us, yes, known, yes. here is elena semyonovna, thank you very much and she doesn’t even just help me, she helps the whole cultural center, you need new costumes, please, we have just made chic folk costumes just for the gremsols , i need something for a solo concert, please, whatever you say, she does everything, she helps, come to her with any problem, she solves everything, she is great in this regard, thank her very much, both the cultural center and the management were so advertised that i think now many young professionals... will pay attention to this area, to this region, because well, it’s our custom that in cultural centers, let’s say, the situation is not very good, but you tell me back, no, we have a good situation, maybe even we are saved by the fact that there are few of us, but we are like a family, we are simply all for each other, and even my solo concerts, i understand everything, how do i here is anya, you are such a star there, i say, i

am nothing without them, because... to learn and go out on stage with cymbals is one thing, but when there is a solo concert there is a colossal team working there, starting from the sound engineer, lighting operator, presenters, people, who help me change my clothes backstage, i ’m not alone there, there are people there, because even some say how in 2 minutes while the presenter was saying something, she was just in a floor-length dress and already in jeans she jumped out, when you have time, and you just don’t understand that in... there’s some kind of crowd of people going on there, who helps me, and as i say, this is my family, i’m nothing without them, some kind of backup dancers , again, thanks to our choreographers, who are anya, let’s make you a backup dancer for this song, come on, now we’ll show you a photo teams, these are the people you are talking about, yes, this is my team, but not all of them, well, tell us about those who are depicted here, for example, tatyana nevedomskaya, here are the four of us, irina busova, olesya zababurura and

me. this is the current composition of the grimzoli, we not only perform grimzoli, we also sing pop music, yulia gridushka, our artistic director, also helps and vida goes with us to concerts everywhere, if necessary, and of course there is an even larger team, sound engineer maxim gundarev, who is also always on the sound with me, the video light, also the guys are sitting on the balcony, who make me a video for my numbers, and with the light the colossal one is working and the lights are on, that’s all, they’re sitting there the whole concert, dmitry pavlov, he’s not here, well, here he is, he’s been there for 5 years, he’s probably been doing all my solo concerts. he’s coming and he’s the director of the lepel district house of culture, he never refuses, and he always has him, he’s also young, hot, and he and he yes, he always has some colossal thoughts according to the script, anya, let’s do it like this, let’s do it like this, let’s do it like this, he leads, at

the same time, while i’m playing, he changes into a costume of some kind of ghost, he’s already behind me jumps for the cymbals, then while i’m changing clothes, he takes the microphone again , he’s already changed, he’s leading it all again, i ’m telling you, us... but we’re together, we’re just great for each other, these are all the lepelchans of the harvest, this all the lepel residents, these are all ours, what great fellows, and they didn’t chase the capital’s dreams somewhere, so let’s say, of course, in the description of your youtube channel you wrote, i think that in life i have been very lucky with teachers, because a natural gift as a musical instrument, it sounds beautiful only after master settings, what did your teachers teach you besides mastering the instrument? moment and love for music, you also have to love the instrument, to play, because there is such a thing, as much as i know from myself, even in that very music school, when people enter later a year or two later they understand,

this is not mine, they take away the documents, don’t leave, the same thing when in childhood children go to music school, it should be just a calling, and apparently everything was just discovered in me, i want to say thank you for now i’m like you three times’... and didn’t drop out of music school, yes, well , we ourselves, you could teach and teach children yourself, of course, i can, after college, i in the diploma specialty, teacher, lecturer, artist, orchestra member, ensemble member, after masherov university, my diploma says that i also teach, i can, but i don’t want to, well , look, under one of your videos we saw this comment, granddaughter saw your... game and went to music school to study and play the dulcimer, you say, i i can, but i don’t want to, but do you have followers in the city today? there’s a remarkable growth in interest in this instrument, of course , after solo concerts, my teacher

who taught me, she also has children playing cymbals, they come to see me to concerts , they see me, and she calls me, natalya vladimirovna, my top dog, someday and says: “anya, my children want to play.” what should i do with them, anya, do you have sheet music, or is there something else there denki, something that i play, she calls me, anya, give me the sheet music, i yes, the children have already started playing there, i don’t know, the king and the jester, great, that is, you say , i don’t want to, but it turns out that subconsciously or not even, although you do it anyway, they gave notes, well, and thus continue to promote, at least even the fact that you, so to speak, give rise to a surge of interest in this. how long we still communicate with her and see each other, she says it herself: anya, my

children after your solo concerts wanted to play, they want to play, they are all interested, there is no great interest in folk music, yes, you don’t notice same around, you connect this with something, you have an explanation, i say, i probably just, apparently, after so many years of study, i was full of, yeah, folk classics, now it’s just that when i started playing all this, i just can’t imagine, how today to play that shapin on the tsembals or that mozart, or that belarusian dancer, i say, i can, but that is, it’s just that your temperament requires something a little more energetic, something more modern. yeah, oh, well, we had a balalaika player visiting us, and he was also, let’s say, very modern modern, so yes, he said that the main thing while studying at a music school , at school, but this already applied to teachers, so that they, as they say, so that the student does not

develop hatred for music, so you have good teachers, they really left you only love, but no hatred, but in general the dulcimer is a complex instrument, so tatyana and i are at a conscious... age, we can try to master them, of course, of course, why not, what is needed for this, a musical ear, and desire, and some others features, i already went when i went to college, i learned about myself...' one very interesting story, that a hidden left-hander, uh-huh, your mother told you about it, yes or who? this is my teacher alina viktorovna bykova, she told my mother that your daughter is a hidden left-hander, and this is very good, because cymbalists always have a lame left hand, but my right and left are absolutely equivalent, then alina viktorovna also said, nonsense, it’s just very rare when two hands play the same way, well, in general

the instrument, if you look at it... the cymbals, it doesn’t look fragile, the cymbals themselves, they weigh about 15 kg, but how do you move them, i have boys, special training, of course, that same dmitry pavlov, that maxim gundarev himself, of course they laugh and say that anechka, we’ll probably soon attach wheels to them, you’ll roll like a horse from behind, because of course, it’s not a light instrument, usually the dulcimer is played while sitting, but we’re seeing your performance , standing, difficult. was it necessary to rebuild and how did the idea come about? it’s not even that it was difficult for me to readjust, it became easier for me, easier in the sense that when again i play alone, it’s some kind of concert, it takes two people, one takes out the chair, the second takes out the cymbals, and then he returns, he carries a stand with a microphone, which he places under the cymbals, then, all this needs to be taken away from the stage, this is a hitch, and i’m thinking, thinking about how this all happened and decided to make myself tall legs,

we have them for me they were sculpted, turned to order, i specially made them for my cymbals, and i just have a free hand, i don’t need a chair, here my boys are sound engineers again, why are we going to say , block you with stands, because we do too , it’s sound, there’s a stand with a microphone on the bottom, they put a stand with a microphone on top, again this is all inconvenient, and my boys say to me, let’s buy you a sound, pickups , they found it for me, they bought it for me, now under my cymbals, pickups with a block, no stands, no nothing, and it’s convenient, i took it, brought it, set it up and didn’t need a stand, no chairs, nothing, it just became more convenient, but sometimes the strings probably can’t withstand your pressure, your energy, how many strings you rub during a rehearsal, during a concert, it doesn’t happen every time, sometimes even during the entire solo concert it may not even break at all one string, yeah, sometimes for... a piece can go away about three times just at once, but how do you get out of

the situation, there’s an important concert going on with your friend , they don’t bother me, it fell, it’s hanging, and how many of these strings are still left there? on one note there are three strings if one burst, two remain, there are enough of them, there are enough of them for normal sound production, but what if all three fly off at once, and if all three fly off at once, it can of course be a shock, but this never happens, but we have already begun to practice, i have one instrument in the district house. it’s erdovsky that i just always have a second instrument in my pocket, loaded, for that same solo concert, if suddenly there’s some kind of collapse, it’s just a hasty change of two instruments, and the instruments are made in belarus, and there are no problems with the availability of the instrument, that is, it is always freely available, in minsk there is a melody in the store, it’s worth it, go buy it, a completely new instrument, in my opinion borisov, manufactured in the region of 4,000 it costs an, well,

in other countries there are also cymbals, you have already said that the russians confuse our cymbals with the harp, in hungary, for example, there are cymbals, have you seen hungarian cymbals , i saw hungarian ones, romanian ones played, no, we didn’t play them, when we went with the ensemble, i also i learned to apologize in college cymbal and harmonik, we went to the performances, there was a boy playing there, we were of course stunned , because firstly, he... is twice the size of the belarusian instrument, he has not three legs, but four, there is a table, as i say, there is a table , they have a completely different tuning, if we have chromatic tuning on belarusian dulcimers, there is a diatonic, diatonic tuning , firstly, i have hammers, they are small, they have these hammers, they are completely different, we just so they came up and looked and said it was beautiful, they wanted it from you. hear the words that our belarusian dulcimers are the coolest and most unique.

of course, especially in my hands, what is unique about belarusian cymbals, how do they differ from other instruments? well, they are all different, cymbals, bass, cymbals, viola, of course, they are also all different, when you played the cymbals, studied at the music school, who is more, boys or girls, girls, of course, and what stopped you from quit music school, mom, only strict control, yes, that’s maternal more, yes i should, yes, because my friend and i even went to music school , she dropped out and so did i, but you wanted for company, probably, yes for company, that’s it, i don’t want to, i won’t, my mother said, that’s it. well, i think that you are grateful to your mother for this decision, yes , that is, many musicians remember that , for example, in childhood there, not only musicians, even athletes, some say that there was a desire to give up with all this, so my parents insisted, and a huge thank you to my mother for insisting

and i went to study at the school, i was 15 years old, the most transitional age, when my alina viktorovna also wanted from me, i remember , to refuse, and she called my mother and said that i couldn’t with her, i left her i’ll refuse, this is a transitional age, but then i outgrew it, yeah, well, somehow everything happened, but if it weren’t for the cymbals, what were you doing, you simulated such a situation, imagined it, that is, now you wouldn’t be able to live without the cymbals with cymbals, no, you can’t even imagine your life, now, now no longer, let’s do it now let's take a short break, after a short pause , we'll return to this studio again, for now , subscribe to our telegram channel, say don't be silent, look for all our episodes on youtube. in the belarus channel 1. why have children become a bargaining

chip for ukraine? yes, because this country is bankrupt and today the west can only pay for weapons with black soil and its future. ukrainians who find themselves in european union countries tell scary stories. i have never heard such a monstrous drinking incident anywhere, when the house is littered, right away, it’s just as a product. in mariupol, i was given several books about ukrainian nationalism. the appearance of one of them dates back to 1950; this is only confirmation that after the announcement of the ussr’s victory over nazi germany, the banderaites continued the underground struggle with the support of the west. it’s good that there is lukashenko in belarus, he saved it, it would have been the same, maybe even worse, the author’s project of ksenia lebedeva is different. watch new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel . adventures of foreigners in belarus. good afternoon, hello, my name is dintiy, and

well, you play simply amazing, fiery, well, there are no words. can you explain to me the incredible popularity of this particular hit? i heard about this song when i performed it. anata ermulenko, literally somewhere maybe a year ago in the kvn scene, i became interested, went to

youtube, and discovered that the video for this song at that time had 550 million views, now a year later there are 650 million views, simple mathematics: 140 million people live in russia , yes, there’s plus or minus, well, even if it’s the post-soviet space, it’s 280, well, let’s add another 20. where did someone watch 20 times several times, well, that’s the popularity, why is there a simple melody, an absolutely simple melody, well, people like it , people come in, rock rock, that’s understandable, the simplest ones, here i am i even know from myself, this is the malinka berry, federica felini, i’m like chuck noris, mom i dance, these are the cree notes. well, white roses and shatunovo, well, this is already a classic, well, yes, well, this is all that appeals to people, i ’m the one who laughs too, that there’s nothing to play there, they

play balls with such an instrument, that it’s just a fiery melody, or something like that , no, why at the last solo concert i played in california, it’s also a hotel, hotel california, and even this comes in, ah, well, no problem, you tamed the cymbals in a good way sense of the word, therefore, probably, nothing is impossible for you, and let's watch another of your performances on national unity day at a concert in honor of this holiday.

well, by the way, the same mother, i’m dancing, that you were talking about, remember this performance , yes, of course, it seems to me that there was a very amazing, incredible atmosphere there, of course, the whole city was there, national unity day, anya, can you call yourself patriots do you consider yourself a patriot? yes, we love our country, we sing a lot of songs about belarus and grymzoly, and themselves and everywhere at all concerts. the house of culture is still a center of attraction for small residents. you have already said that concerts are held there by national teams , including yours, yes, this is a poster from last year, it was the fifth

anniversary solo concert, yes, people, of course, go to concerts, i’m telling you, we are not enough in the cultural center , but they love us, we also have choreographic groups, vocal groups, we have a folk theater of miniatures-booth, tatyana nevedomskaya, the director, these are miniatures, some funny, monologues. we have a wonderful theater called the people's search, which deals purely with performances, and even in this performance this year they took me there too, i’m everywhere, well, we have a comic song by the grmzoli ensemble, there are few of us, but we are everywhere, for every taste, any repertoire, from some funny parodies to solo concerts, for the elderly, of course. again, we have a veteran folk choir, people go there, but for older people there is a folk studio svetlana, where

adults are taught singing, there is the children's studio is fidgety, the kids sing songs there, we have variety, do you consider yourself a star, no, well, for your city, maybe yours for your city, maybe in lepeli, how many people live? about 15,000, yeah, who, how many of them do you think know about you? a lot, well, a lot, how many, all 15, well, i don’t know how all 15 are, but i even go to the park for a walk sometime, every second, hello, hello, that means 7,500 know, i don’t know them, but i tell everyone i smile, i say hello to everyone, well, it’s nice, of course, and even on national day i just played unity, how many people ran up to me, everyone took pictures with me, there are already children there, children running around, sign. well, for me , of course, it’s nice, but well, you probably shouldn’t refuse, it seems to me that your teaching career is still ahead somewhere, everything is possible, let’s show

the audience another fragment of yours. i think that our viewers recognized the composition

of the must go on show, have you dreamed or thought about any of your own shows? about this, maybe someday i will grow up to the big arena, and tell us a little secret, where will your next solo concert be, which you are preparing for, it will be the lepel district house of culture, we are planning for now on january 26, 2024, and why is it all connected with january, because for me it’s january 25 in general, it’s a birthday, and i myself started these recitals and somehow said to myself: on the eve of the birthday, every year on the twentieth of january, whenever it falls, either after the twenty-fifth or the twenty-first, before the twenty-fifth, every a year before, we saw on your poster that the ticket price was only 5 rubles, do you earn anything at these concerts? this same money all goes to the district cultural center, that is, it’s not your personal income,

of course, just some kind of bonus, but you ’re entitled to it, well, yes, yes, a bonus. it turns out that you are an altruist, you do these concerts, well, just because you like it, yes, not for the sake of making money, no, just because i like it, we wish you that your show continues, thank you, uh, so that, your team has grown, more and more specialists and so that you will someday perform at some big arena, perhaps you would even gather the minsk arena first, and then we’ll see, thank you for coming to visit us today, and we are svetlana smolonskaya and tatyana sherbina, at with this we say goodbye to you, goodbye, goodbye, and now the beautiful anna sharkovskaya speaks. i want to say a huge thank you to everyone for loving me, appreciating me, believing in me, the most important thing is to love your job, what you do, love music, enjoy simply your creativity, it is most important.
