On June 25th St. Petersburg group Zhigulin and Co began its work on the new album Pastorale under support of Concordia Foundation.
The group is playing their own type of the acoustic underground with some elements of folk songs. Their music is peaceful and harmonious, and their melodies, simple at first site, are genuine and intangible, as if not out of this world.
Group’s performances have always been a remarkable part of many festivals, among which we can name SKIF and Rock-Asia; in 2006 the group got grand prize of the art song festival in St. Petersburg which was organized by the group Zimovie Zverey.
Zhigulin and Co is currently rehearsing its new songs in order to begin their recording in the fall. They’ve chosen ten songs which they sang St. Petersburg earlier during a short concert in the Context Club. Today, with the support of the Concordia Fund they have opportunity to record an album of this program. Completion of this work is planned for the end of this year. It would be followed by the series of concerts at the mainstream music venues of the city.
