The production centre “Jazz in Kiev” and the Culture and Education Centre Master Klass present

“THE THEME WITH VARIATIONS. LIVE”: RELOADED

The series of concerts “The Theme with Variations. Live” resumes at Master Klass: every Wednesday at 8 p.m.

The Culture and Education Centre Master Klass (16 Lavrska Street) has become the new place for holding Jazz Wednesdays by Oleksiy Kogan. The Centre is an old partner of the production centre “Jazz in Kiev”. Here, a great number of joint projects were implemented, ranging from jazz film shows and master classes by jazz stars during the autumn festivals “Jazz in Kiev”, to concerts from the series “Classics and Jazz”.

During the month 3-4 concerts are taking place in the hall near the Art Gallery (admission will be 50 hryvnias and the number of seats is limited), and once a month a big concert is held in the Concert Hall of Master Klass (admission will be up to 100 hryvnias).

“The main purpose of the project “The Theme with Variations. Live” is to give an opportunity to Ukrainian musicians to meet more with listeners and present their authorial projects, and to allow the audience to enjoy qualitative music”, says Oleksiy Kogan about his project. Gradually, the attendance of our small concerts will increase. Already you can speak about them as an original members club that, for sure, will make the jazz life of Kyiv much more interesting”.

The decision to hold concerts on Wednesdays was not taken flippantly as the majority of Kyiv jazz lovers traditionally consider Wednesday as the best “jazzy day of the week”. On Wednesdays famous jazz evenings were held in the Dynamo Club (altogether 152 concerts took place), and then in the Al Capone Club (27 concerts), in the Arena Club (50 concerts), and in the Lapsha Jazz Restaurant (15 concerts). The production centre of festivals “Jazz in Kiev” and the Culture and Education Centre Master Klass expect that Jazz Wednesdays will encourage the formation of a jazz communication area which will be joined by Kyiv music lovers every week.

The concert schedule of the project “The Theme with Variations. Live” is displayed on the websites www.jazzinkiev.com and www.masterklass.org.
