Marina Inovlotskaya

In the choir since 2019

Marina Inovlotskaya graduated from the Conducting and Choral Department of the St. Petersburg State Conservatory. She has worked with such musicians as Ennio Morricone, Montserrat Caballe, Maris Jansons, Yuri Temirkanov, Nikolai Kornev, Alexander Titov, etc. Guest artist at the Houston Symphony Chorus (Texas, USA). She joined the musicAeterna choir in 2019.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MUSICAETERNA CHOIR AND OTHER ENSEMBLES?
In musicAeterna projects, we are constantly venturing into something new, and the ability to quickly adapt to these changes is important in our work. Such delicate matters as musical and plastic arts cannot be squeezed into ironclad structures — they simply won't fit there. You need to find an approach to them, breathe them in, taste them and, of course, make friends. Therefore, when you easily react to changing tasks, the process becomes faster and more exciting.
WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO IN YOUR FREE TIME?
I often listen to the music of Brian McKnight, Eric Marienthal, Ennio Morricone, and BB King. I am constantly discovering new beauties and rhythms in music!
WHAT DOES THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS LOOK LIKE?
This is a house in a warm sunny place near a river or a lake. By all means, it has a green lawn, coniferous trees, blooming hydrangeas and roses.
WHAT IS YOUR PERFECT DAY OFF LIKE?
It involves taking a thermos of strong tea and going to the countryside. Listening to birds, walking along forest paths, and breathing.

Conductor Vitaly Polonsky

MusicAeterna resident composer Andreas Moustoukis presents the result of his two-year work at Dom Radio. Together with the “Liturgy of St. Leontius”, fragments of which have been repeatedly heard in the concerts by the musicAeterna Choir, on June 6, the world premiere of his new composition – IM ÄTHER (“In Ether”) for mixed choir, 4 double basses, electronics, percussion and the ondes Martenot will take place. This is a micropolyphonic work based on the poems by Paul Celan interspersed with quotations from world cinema.

The author explains the essence of the new work as follows: “Im Äther (στον αιθέρα) is the need to breath out in the stratosphere were the gravitation is low and all the time is becoming one and a single moment of a crystal silence. The past, the present and the future stop to exist between then and now in a violent and compensating ‘why’, they just exist timelessly in the cosmic black as if they were small red shining dots of love, the tears of eternity.”
