Nutcracker

This is one of the dearest concerts to my heart, created based on the Christmas tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann in collaboration with the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and conductor Dilyaver Osmanov.

As if by magic, sand animation transports you into a fantastical world, where the magic of sand and Tchaikovsky’s enchanting music create an atmosphere filled with anticipation of a miracle. The sand images take you into the world of little Marie, where the Nutcracker faces off against the Mouse King and, after his victory, transforms into a beautiful prince. This is not just a performance, but a fantastical journey where every grain of sand and every note of the orchestra tells the story that miracles are always near — you just have to believe.

The art of sand painting, which brings magnificent visual panoramas to life on a sandy surface projected onto a screen, has long captivated audiences.

For instance, the Witches’ Sabbath at midnight on the Bald Mountain and the enchanted forest from Shakespeare and Mendelssohn’s *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* will come alive through both sound and imagery.

Review

I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THAT. EVERYONE WATCHED YOUR SHOW INTENTLY, AND EVEN A FEW TEARS WERE SHED BY SOME GUESTS. THERE WAS ACTUALLY APPLAUSE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.

Thank you very much for completing everything so punctually and perfect.

At the same time, I would like to give you some brief feedback on my wife's birthday event where you showed the birthday sand show. The success and admiration were immense. The presentation was also ideal, as we had a very large screen and a very good projector at our disposal.
I also briefly showed the printed original pictures. The unanimous opinion: This is art!

We would like to sincerely thank you again for this wonderful "accompaniment" to our event, to you and your team, and wish you continued great success! I shared the link to your website several times that evening.

Warm regards from Berlin

AT SOME POINT I REALIZED THAT WE WERE CREATING A FAIRY TALE TOGETHER.

With Svetlana we traveled to the site of the Per Gynt project. in 2013.
Her handiwork was a delightful addition to the music of Edvard Grieg. At some point I realized that we were creating a fairy tale together.
Then fate brought us together again in the Magic Song project. Schedule. "Carol of the balls." feat.: Al Di Meola, Amoury Gutierrez, Ed Calle and other stars of world music. Once again Svetlana showed her ability to create a fairy tale.
I constantly follow the work of this artist who makes our world more colorful with sand.
