BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION OF G.I. GURDJIEFF
[]
Here are people who pass, and people who remain in order to remind us of our duty to remember our True "Self" and to struggle with all our might for its fulfillment. Such was George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, a paradoxical mystic, writer, composer and choreographer from the Caucasus, whose image and teaching continue to provide a stimulus for the struggle for one's genuine essence to new generations of people fascinated with him. Each year on 13 January in dozens of countries and hundreds of cities, people who feel gratitude towards Gurdjieff assemble together to mark his birthday. In the upcoming year the Gurdjieff Club, recently founded in Moscow, is commemorating Gurdjieff's birthday at the "Dom" Cultural Center, which two years ago hosted an evening of Gurdjieff's music and sacred movements. The program of the evening includes Gurdjieff's sacred movements, Gurdjieff's music, reading from his book "Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson," presentations made by guests, theatrical etudes, which illustrate Gurdjieff's ideas, a video composition and refreshments. We are cordially inviting all who are interested in Gurdjieff's teaching to celebrate this day along with us.

VA-TA-GA (Petrozavodsk, Kareliya)
[world music]
The band was formed in 2000 in the city of Petrozavodsk (Karelia) and until 2004 has been known under the name of «Reel». Among its members the group counts four graduates from the Petrozavodsk' State Music Conservatory while their leader Alexander Leonov, besides being a main vocalist and a multi-instrument performer, has been for years collecting folk songs as well as designing and making traditional music instruments. The musicians themselves call the Va-Ta-Ga style an «art-folk based on the Northern folk songs». The musical journalists refer to their music as either «ethno-ambient» or «folk jazz». Having roots in the karelian and north-russian culture, Va-Ta-Ga's members also draw inspiration from other parts of the world as well, including Tuva in the east and the global World Music scene. Va-Ta-Ga players use acoustic instruments as well as modern digital and analogue sound treatment. Besides a classical guitar and a double bass the band has a great variety of traditional wind, strings and percussion instruments. Va-Ta-Ga recorded its first album «Stranniye Ludi» (Strange People) in 2002 and very rapidly became famous outside of Karelia. Va-Ta-Ga has performed at such jazz and world music festivals as «60'th parallel»(Surgut), «Live Water» (Altai), S«KIF» (St.Petersburg), «Ethnolife» (Moscow), «Ethna» (Moscow), «Kihaus» (Finland), «Folklandia» (Finland), «Golden Mask» (Moscow), «RidduRiddu» (Norway), «On culture's corssboard» (Poland), took part in programs of the German Jazz Institute, Frankfurt Book Fair and Sibelius Academy of Finland.
