On October 17, 2012 a press conference was held in the conference hall of the hotel “Metropol.” This conference was dedicated to the opening of the II Muslim Magomaev Vocalists Contest which will be held this weekend on October 20 and 21 in Moscow. 17 contestants from 10 countries will showcase their talent and skills in the performance of both classical and pop repertoire to the respected international jury on the stage of Muslim Magomaev Concert Hall “Crocus City Hall.” 

The press conference was attended by the chairman of the jury, People's Artist of the USSR, Professor Tamara Sinyavskaya, founder of the Muslim Magomaev Musical and Cultural Heritage Fund Aras Agalarov, honorary member of the international jury, the artistic director of the Accademia d’Arte Lirica in Osimo, Italy Vincenzo De Vivo, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, producer, composer, artistic director and principal conductor of Yu.Silantiev Academic Grand Concert Orchestra Alexander Klevitsky, Russian conductor, music teacher, conductor of the Mariinsky Theater, principal conductor of the Belarusian State Chamber Orchestra, professor at the Belarussian Conservatory, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Alexander Polyanichko, and famous musician Emin Agalarov.

Chairman of the international jury Tamara Sinyavskaya reiterated that the program will be executed by contestants with no repetition, which gives it a right to call the II International Muslim Magomaev Vocalists Contest a full concert, divided into 2 days. The vocalists will perform opera and pop repertoire on the first day and songs from the repertoire of People’s Artist of USSR Muslim Magomaev on the second day.

“I know that this year the vocalists are very strong. You will have to fight hard for your place in the sun, which for the most part you have won already and now you need to retain,” Tamara Ilinichna addressed the audience. “I wish you all good luck and striving to the tops. Money should not be important for you in this case, but the victory will be a victory over yourself. We surely will live up to the expectations of the contestants and audience. Therefore, good to all the contestants coming from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, the United States, and Germany; to all of those who chose to come to us.”

The Founder of The Muslim Magomaev Musical and Cultural Heritage Fund Aras Agalarov said that 230 applications were submitted and people very strictly selected to be here. “Trust me, vocalists who are here have amazing vocal talent and incredible energy. Here, as in any professional sport, the best man wins with equal opportunities. The rewards are worthy. Grand Prix is $25,000, 1st place winner award is $20,000, 2nd place winner award is $10,000 and 3rd place winner award is $5,000.

Reporters asked famous singer Emin Agalarov, who is called by many Muslim Magomaev’s creative recipient, if he takes part in a gala concert as a guest. “It is an honor for me to perform at the contest of such level.  I would love to be a part of it. I hope I will be able to go on Crocus City Hall stage and perform one of songs from Muslim Magomaev’s repertoire,” confessed Emin.

Honorary member of the international jury, artistic director of Accademia d’Arte Lirica in Osimo Vincenzo De Vivo said that it was his honor and pleasure to accept an offer to join the jury of this unique vocal contest. “Typically, the contests are about one musical direction, whether is it opera or pop. Usually, a composition is selected which is an aria from the opera. Or it could be a contest where only tenors can participate; for instance, Caruso Live Contest in Milan. A few years ago sponsors and organizers set a task to reflect a diverse, complex personality of Muslim Magomaev, when the decision on holding a contest to honor the great artist was made. Decision was made and, in fact, a unique formula was created that combined pop music and opera classical music. Such a contest is a great pleasure for sponsors and members of jury. I am honored to help young talented people to enter the international music market.”http://www.m-magomaev.ru/bitrix/images/1.gif
