Little Mermaid
Enchanting story of the “Little Mermaid” brought to life through the fascinating sand animation of Svetlana Telbukh in collaboration with the Theater Altenburg Gera. Under the direction of conductor Changmin Park, the orchestra will perform Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra”, accompanied by the narration of Ruth Ohlmann. This performance combines music and visual storytelling and immerses the audience in the little mermaid’s journey full of love and curiosity in the human world.
Metamorphosis of the Soul
t the 2nd Philharmonic Concert, the “Schumann Open,” sand artist Svetlana Telbukh will create her own artwork during Robert Schumann’s 4th Symphony, enriching the musical experience with a stunning sand animation. Two ephemeral art forms meet, inspiring one another.
Spain’s got talent
On the TV show “Spain’s Got Talent,” sand artist Svetlana Telbukh delivered something truly unique to the audience. She took on the challenging task of creating portraits of the judges using sand, a material that demands exceptional skill and precision. Every movement was carefully thought out.
The audience was stunned when they recognized the judges, and the hall erupted in a standing ovation.
Pray for Ukraine benefits-concert
Today Ukraine is going through difficult times. Innocent people are dying, everything that was created and protected for centuries is being destroyed. The world is watching Ukraine’s pain with trepidation and hope. Good hearts, filled with empathy, feel Ukraine’s pain as their own. Let this video be a requiem for those who have not had time to say goodbye.
Sand Stories of the World
Travel is an endless book, the pages of which are written not with ink, but with the winds of distant lands, the rustle of sands, and the splash of oceans. The 90-Minutes sand animation concert “Sand Stories of the World” transports the audience on a journey across continents, just as one flips through the pages of the wondrous book of life. Over the course of 90 minutes, entire worlds unfold before the viewers—majestic mountains of Tibet, boundless deserts of the Sahara, the tumultuous waters of the Amazon, and the lights of nocturnal Tokyo. Each movement of the sand under the artist’s hands creates a new chapter in this book, one that can never be fully read, for as Heinrich Heine wrote, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel see only one page of it.” But this concert offers the chance to glimpse many pages, to feel the beauty and diversity of a world that comes alive for a moment, destined to remain forever in your heart.
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.
