From 7 to 10 January Erarta Stage will host the annual VOLKOV ManiFEST, dedicated to the creativity of the outstanding St. Petersburg musician.

/

Vladimir Volkov, a famous St. Petersburg musician and composer, should have been already put into the list of the national and even world heritage. He is fairly considered one of the best modern bass players on both sides of the ocean.

In his sound experiments Volkov explores completely different territories: plays early Baroque music, performs the hits of minimalism, writes sound tracks for films, and collaborates with theaters both as an invited musician and as an actor. Moreover, Vladimir Volkov has staged a few interesting theatre performances, where he acts as the script author, actor, director, and, of course, sound engineer.

So if you want to meet an old school artist and the “Renaissance Man”, Vladimir Volkov is just the right person!

The desire to gather the heritage of this prominent artist at one place inspired ERARTA to found a whole festival dedicated to his name. This is how VOLKOV ManiFEST was born, and became an annual event.
