Andrei Bill: “Musical Frigat” on the seas of Her Majesty Music Andrei Bill: “Musical Frigat” on the seas of Her Majesty Music will share the most fantastic dream can share a reality if you strive for all the sails! Andrey Bill Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. Art director of the Institute of Contemporary Art of Moscow, Associate Professor. Singer, TV presenter, laureate of international competitions.
Andrei Mikhailovich, 25 years old your creative activity is connected with children. How did it all begin? Indeed, 25 years ago, I first participated in children's programs, and since then my whole life has been associated with art, with children's creativity. And this happened at the program “At the Bal at Cinderella”, where I, the young laureate of the competition in Jurmala, invited the editor of the “Funny Notes” program Kira Chen and director Rimma Mishin.
I came with my song "Ochkarik". It so happened that all the children who were sitting in the Ostankino concert studio ran out to the stage, and we began to dance, rage. Then the director and editor said: “Children love Andrei so much, why not try as a presenter.” And already in the next program, I was terribly worried and afraid to utter my word, I went on stage as the host of the program “At the Cinderella Ball” on Channel One.
These were seven happy and joyful years. Many young artists of our country began their work here. We went abroad with them, where we were filmed, traveled on ships, planes, and trains. In general, this is unforgettable. And how did the “musical frigate” appear in your life? In the year, I came to the Palace of Children's Creativity Bibirevo with a dream of creating a children's pop studio.
The dream was realized in the Musical Frigate. Over the years, he was a participant in a huge number of contests and festivals. Our guys took part and won the “Slavic Bazaar” in Vitebsk, in the competition “Children's New Wave”, in television projects: “Factor A”, “STS is lighting a superstar”, “Voice. Children ”and many, many others. Over the years, many children studied in our studio, a new set occurs annually.
Today, the team has 30 actively involved singers. Individual and ensemble classes, solo practice, general and individual choreography, and acting skills are held for them. In Moscow there are two branches of the studio and one in Vladimir. How did such an unusual name of the studio arise? Everything is very simple. It so happened that in my life these two elements - music and the sea - are inseparable from childhood.
We had a musical family. I always sang and dreamed of the sea. Having become older, I went on a sail yacht.
Now I am a two -time world in sailing champion. Therefore, the studio received such a name. As you know, a sea of mistakes does not forgive, and only a strong crew can fight the elements. Therefore, we dreamed that our artists would not be afraid of life, everyday difficulties and are ready to extend a hand to each other. So it happened: a real, friendly crew enters the deck of our “musical frigate” and travels along the seas of her majesty.
How does your team differ from other modern creative groups and studios? We teach children the basics of pop art, we want the thought that everyone can sing, in the minds of parents to turn into the idea that pop art is a serious work and serious work. How much hours of training, rehearsals do you need to work with a microphone, with a choreographer, how much sketches need to turn out to find a good suit, and it is better to attract a professional designer, what phonograms you need to create ...
And this is what we differ from other teams. We are always aimed at high professionalism and believe that if a small person comes to us once a week, he devotes a lot of life to creativity and art, probably this should once become part of his profession. In your opinion, are modern children differ from those who were engaged in you 20 years ago? Previously, the children understood that this was the case and the profession that would provide them with work for many years, and the plus is that it would be their favorite thing.
Today, the guys love to sing, they are engaged, but there is no such hard work and fanaticism as it was before. We will hope that a new galaxy of talented, gifted children will appear, who will also strive for the highest cultural ideals. What are you and your team in the near future? We are preparing several concert programs for the younger, middle and senior groups. Ahead is new, large contests.
We are preparing for the contest "Slavic Bazaar". We will maintain relationships and friendship with our foreign friends, we will go to visit each other. As you know, art saves the world, and we need this world today!
