“The Nutcracker in Jazz”. The jazz concert and ballet extravaganza at The Hermitage Theatre of St Petersburg, Russia.

Favorite melodies from the legendary masterpiece of Pyotr Tchaikovsky performed in provocative interpretation of Alexander Maslov and his Jazz Trio, and the stars of ballet - Irina Perren and Marat Shemiunov.

The Mouse King in the form of Mickey Mouse, colorful ballerinas, a dance with Chinese umbrellas and a giant nut - all this in the most daring ballet production with live jazz! Virtuoso musicians, bright costumes and scenery, fantastic Pa.

Alexander Maslov Star of St. Petersburg jazz, brilliant virtuoso pianist and composer, senior lecturer at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, winner of prestigious piano competitions.

He is compared to Denis Matsuev, because Alexander Maslov is an excellent classical musician, as well as the main jazz pianist of St. Petersburg!

Alexander Maslov performs at the world's best concert venues in Russia, Germany, Holland, China and Japan. Collaborates with the orchestras of the Mariinsky Theater, the Honored Philharmonic Society of St. Petersburg, the Capella Orchestra and the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, the Milan La Verdi Orchestra, the Warsaw Radio and Television Orchestra.

Every year he gives more than 100 concerts, recorded 3 jazz albums, published the book "Basics of Jazz Improvisation" and wrote over 80 jazz pieces.

Ballet stars - Irina Perren and Marat Shemiunov. One of the most beautiful married couples in Russian ballet!

Irina Perren and Marat Shemiunov are the main soloists of the Mikhailovsky Theater, who conquered not only the Russian stage, but the whole world.

Here to stage a ballet to jazz while retaining the main idea - to convey classical choreography in a jazz interpretation - is the most difficult task that the artists have been working on.

Irina Perren - Honored Artist of Russia, prima ballerina of the Mikhailovsky Theater, winner of the Golden Sofit award.

Marat Shemiunov - premier of the Mikhailovsky Theater, laureate of international competitions, choreographer.

Alexander Maslov Jazz Trio turns 7 this year. In addition to Alexander Maslov, the trio included the outstanding percussionist of our time - Pavel Chizhik (vibraphone, drums), as well as the soloist of the Capella of St. Petersburg - Arseny Zotochev (double bass). The musicians are not only an excellent ensemble, but also wonderful soloists, performing with classical and jazz repertoire.
