Rubtsov Mikhail Biography

He was 66 years old. The choir conductor Mikhail Rubtsov was born in the year in Stalingrad, in the family of Stalingrad intellectuals - indigenous tsarins, residents of the city, who has changed their name more than once - from Tsaritsyn to Stalingrad and Volgograd. Here Mikhail graduated from the Volgograd School of Arts in the class of choral conducting. And in the year he entered the Leningrad Conservatory for the same specialty.

The Tsaritsyn education in the family determined the interests of the young musician: the history of the Russian Empire, the religious foundations of imperial culture, the veneration of the monarchical state structure, the vocal music of the last imperial period - the late XIX - early XX centuries, Russian spiritual music. During his studies at the conservatory, a student of Scar worked as a singing in the church choir and the setting of piano.

In the old Petersburg houses for setting up the instrument, he was often paid by ancient notes and books on musical education, published back in pre -revolutionary Russia. In Soviet times, this music was no longer performed, and for Mikhail was a real treasure that he found and opened as a priceless treasure. In the Soviet university, which at that time was the Leningrad Conservatory at that time, singing in the church choir was not welcomed, the student in love with spiritual music began difficulties, up to the exception.

When he recovered at the conservatory, his fate was rewarded - the last course he took place in the classroom of an outstanding choral conductor, the artistic director of the Leningrad choir chapel Vladislav Chernushenko. Returning to his hometown after the end of the conservatory, Mikhail Rubtsov in the year created in the recreation center to them. Gagarina Women's vocal ensemble "Concordia" in Latin-"Consent", named after the first theater-garden "Concordia".

And he turned to the musical literature that he began to collect in Leningrad - old songs and romances, children's game nursery rhymes and lullabies, spiritual poems and carols, spiritual works of Russian composers of the XVIII -XX centuries, state hymns of the Russian Empire. The Concordia’s spiritual and singing center, which was created by Rubtsov, had a unique collection of ancient musical collections for household music, textbooks for musical education of the house, at the gymnasium and the Smolny Institute of noble girls.

This collection has become the basis of the Concordia ensemble repertoire. The first program “Russian Musical Salon of Pushkinskaya Pore”, shown in the year, was a stunning discovery for the listener. On the stage, an image of a cultural Russian house, urban and manor, arose - an image of lost noble beauty, which turned out to be not only alive, but also acutely necessary at the end of the 20th century, after sixty years of spiritual and cultural surveillance.

Rubtsov managed to recreate both the manners of the educated girl of the XIX century, and the very sound of the female choir, not similar to the choral style of the Soviet era. The musician came to this sound, studying the singing traditions of the St. Petersburg court choir chapel and the recording of the emigrant choirs of the Russian abroad. The search for the repertoire continued in every touring ensemble trip.

Bortneansky, discovered in the year in Pskov. In the performance of Concordia, this composition was first sounded on a concert stage. In the year, M. Rubtsov opened another ingenious essay for the listener - “Children's Liturgy” by P. The sister of the late composer gave M. Rubtsov a notes of a never -sounding work, and Concordia became his first performer. In the year, the ensemble gave a charity concert in the destroyed Gorodishchensky church near Volgograd.

This was a landmark event for our region on the eve of the flight of the baptism of Rus'-a symbol of return to the once rejected spiritual values. In the year, Mikhail Rubtsov founded the first in Russia the Concordia Spiritual and Foreign School, where teaching was based on the principles of musical education in the pre-revolutionary Russian gymnasium.

From the graduates of the school, the ensemble "Malaya Concordia" was created, which performed along with the adult "Concordia". The pupil of the first issue was young Nina Stukanovskaya, who will soon become the artist of Concordia, and then - the wife of Mikhail Nikolaevich. They called their only daughter a concorde. I remember how around the same time the Concordia was invited to speak in the Assembly Hall of the Volgograd regional party committee.

The fact itself is amazing. But it was even more amazing that the full hall was filled, and when the “Concordia” under the direction of Rubtsov sang the anthem “God, keep the king,” the hall stood up. Expeditions for musical material in the cities of the Volga region were traditional for Concordia. Notes from ancient estates, household items and musical instruments of the late XIX - early XX centuries - all this gathered on such trips.

Since then, in each program of the ensemble, the image of Bonna appears - a cool mentor in a genuine dress of the 19th century, with a real school bell in his hand. The discoveries for the Russian listener were such “Concordia” programs as monographs “D. Bortneansky ”and“ Prince A.Lviv ”, program“ Court Concerts of Bortnyansky ”and“ Bakhchisarai Fountain ”A. In this turbulent time of the beginning of X, when philanthropists appeared in Volgograd, scars began to conduct their Officers“ Sheremetevo choral assemblies ” - in memory of the choral chapel of Count P., these were luxurious choral concerts in a crowded hall, where people stood in passages, where people were in passes, And the descendant of those very Sheremetevs, the head of the Russian Conservatory in Paris, Count Peter Petrovich Sheremetev, the St.

Petersburg choir chapel, led by the teacher of Rubtsov Vladislav Chernushenko, the ensemble of ancient Russian spiritual music “Sirin” and other famous musicians, went to the stage. Concordia has a choral representation of the main form of concert programs - the synthesis of music, literature and theater. This innovative principle was bright in the programs “Teachers”, “Child-singer”, “Last songs of the Russian Empire”, “Noble Nest”, in the student of M.

Rubtsov, dedicated to the culture of the pre-revolutionary Tsaritsyn: “Journalism at Concordia,“ Theater-garden “Concordia”. In the year, by the anniversary of the ensemble, Rubtsov created the final program of the Tsaritsyn cycle “I dreamed of a garden ...”. Mikhail Rubtsov many times became the laureate of international festivals of Orthodox music in Moscow, Minsk and Ples, the Russian-American festival "Awakening", "Neva Church Assembly".

In the year, he became the first winner of the regional contest “Provincial Muse” later - “Tsaritsyn Muse”. He was awarded the honorary sign of "The Guardian of Traditions." In years, Volgograd has hit such a destructive phenomenon as “optimization”, which had catastrophic consequences for all spheres of social life of the region - from medicine to culture. City officials “optimized” Mikhail Rubtsov, the Concordia and the Concordia Spiritual and Foreign Center, which included the Concordia and Malaya Concordia ensembles and the Concordia Spiritual and Flooding School.

The center was eliminated, the premises were selected, the school was leaked from one of the usual music schools, and the Concordia ancient ensemble was transferred to the Volgograd Concord to scanty financing. Perhaps it was this blow to the city, for which Mikhail Rubtsov did so much, led to a serious illness, from which Mikhail Nikolaevich suffered in recent years.

The head of the ensemble was Nina Stukanovskaya, who graduated from the Volgograd Institute of Arts and Culture in the class of choral conducting by Mikhail Rubtsova. The future choral conductor of Concordia Rubtsov is also studying there now. Recently, Disha, what her name is at home, debuted as a conductor during the opening of the Volgograd Council of Alexander Nevsky, performing with the "Concordia" in the square in front of the Council.

Mikhail Nikolaevich was very faithful in friendship, was friends for decades and never cheated on his friends. Here they are in the photo with Misha in an embrace - the founder of the “Tsaritsyn Muse” Anatoly Karman and artist Vladislav Koval, who created the symbols of “Concordia” and “Tsaritsyn Muse”. And a week before his departure, Misha congratulated the author of these lines on his birthday ...

pride, tears, sadness. And the miraculous choral monument, erected by Mikhail Rubtsov in the musical culture of Russia, sounding in the soul. The choir conductor Mikhail Rubtsov was born in the year in Stalingrad, in the family of Stalingrad intellectuals - indigenous tsarins, residents of the city, who has repeatedly changed the Tsaritsyn Muzinfo Xnaautttr over the century.
