SUMMARY:[:en]“The Centenary of Bulat Okudzhava”: Evening of Songs and Music in the open air[:ru]Столетие Булата Окуджавы - вечер песни и поэзии под открытым небом[:]
DESCRIPTION:This year\, we shall commemorate the centenary of Bulat Okudzhava (9th May 1924 – 12th June 1997)\, a Soviet singer and song-writer\, poet\, and author\, whose songs and poems had a profound impact on generations of the Soviet intelligentsia\, since the early 1960s up to the 1990s. Full of meaning\, reflection\, sublime feelings and dignity\, yet describing everyday life with honesty and no traditional Soviet pathos\, his songs struck a chord with people of all ages and were sung to the guitar almost at every party\, in the kitchen or around a bonfire. Okudzhava became a moral compass for many in the age of official hypocrisy and meaningless\, empty slogans. His songs exuded warmth and brought people together. \nWe would like invite everyone\, who wishes to sing a few songs by Okudzhava or play the guitar\, or recite a poem\, or say a few words\, to get in touch with Tanya Yurasova via WhatsApp 0781 510 1481. We shall then add you to the group of performers. (It is very informal\, but the aim is to draft a certain programme\, for consistency and to avoid repetition.) \nEveryone is invited to come and join us! \nWHEN: Saturday\, 29 June\, 18:30 (BST)\nWHERE: Midsummer Common – on the field opposite Fort St. George Pub\, Cambridge CB5 8DR \nWe shall get together on our favourite vast green field\, Midsummer Common\, not far from the river and the pub Fort St.George – same place as our traditional “White Nights”. \nPlease bring rugs and/or foldable chairs for comfort! Also don’t forget umbrellas and raincoats in case it rains. \nYou may like to come with your own beer or other drinks and picnic (or you could choose to buy drinks in the nearby pub). Guitars\, of course\, are paramount! \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:[:en]Workshop with Vocal Coach Liuba Doga: "Connect to and master your voice”[:ru]Семинар с педагогом по вокалу: «В гармонии со своим голосом»[:]
DESCRIPTION:Connecting to your voice is like connecting to yourself. I will help you understand your voice and connect it to the primary source of breath and how you can balance. Singing reflects a lot of our personality traits. \nDid you know that your voice is a unique instrument like a fingerprint? It reflects what you are feeling and what your beliefs about yourself are. When it comes to singing and their voice\, many people will experience shyness\, insecurity\, anxiety and doubts. \nWhy does singing terrify people? Many emotions stop you from mastering your voice and replacing those feelings with confidence\, acceptance\, freedom\, uniqueness and expression. In this workshop\, I will be working on bringing that trust in your voice back to yourself. \nAbout Liuba: \nFounder of Singing Attitude\, awarded Top Singing School in Cambridge in 2020 and 2021. \nVocal coach\, singer-songwriter\, recording artist\, Eurovision finalist\, international award winner\, TV performer\, classically trained as an opera singer at Music ACADEMY “Gavriil Musicescu”\, Republic of Moldova\, with two degrees. Spent four years as director of the choir at the “Stefan Neaga” Musical College in Moldova and toured with an opera company. \nLiuba has coached total beginners\, Eurovision participants\, international award winners\, singer-songwriters and recording artists. \n* While there is no charge for our online events\, CamRuSS would welcome any donations towards the support of our volunteers’ efforts during this time. \nSuggested donation £5-10. \nAll money raised by CamRuSS from membership fees & donations goes towards organising events\, supporting community projects\, and essential technical and administrative costs. \nYou can send your donations via: \n– a direct bank transfer (BACS) to the following account: \nThe Cambridge Russian-Speaking Society \nNatWest Bank\, Sort Code: 60-11-30\, Account: 25395637 \n– PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?business=camruss%40camruss.com \nTHANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
