The Cossack ensemble from Moscow “Russkaya Volya” is very different from most other ensembles. Its main advantage is that the entire team is trying very hard to preserve and convey this archaic choral sound of folk songs, but at the same time they are trying to adapt it for modern listeners by mixing it with the current rhythm and arrangement. In addition, the true sound of the songs is achieved through the widespread use of a large number of ancient folk instruments, which the artists play skillfully. The artists play the accordion, balalaika, guitar, gusli, lyre, ocarina, horn, tambourine, drums and other instruments.

The folklore Cossack ensemble "Russkaya Volya" is a group of creative people, which act as carriers Russian culture and traditions. Their goal is to revive and strengthen national cultural values, mainly the song traditions of Cossack folklore.

It’s not for nothing that people use the expression “celebrate on a Russian scale!” But, it’s true, in Rus' at all times they organized festivities, celebrations and feasts on a very large scale. For example, take a holiday that everyone has long loved - “Maslenitsa”, or rather “ wide carnival" And today, following all the customs and traditions of our ancestors, we are trying to make this holiday fun, memorable and very bright. We invite you to the celebration folk groups to perform songs, dances, round dances, games and fun in the traditional style. Try having a wedding in Cossack style. For recent years Bride price according to all ancient customs has gained great popularity. The Russian Cossack folk ensemble “Russkaya Volya” is very often invited for just such a ransom. In fact, this is not even a ritual, but a real theatrical and interactive event, which includes songs, dances, jokes and games in which a large number of friends and guests are involved. The “Russian Will” team can spend the entire holiday as the only thread of an entertaining story, with the participation of a host or toastmaster. With all this, the actions may well develop both on stage and in the hall, among the laid tables, in which invited guests participate. The holiday can also be held under open air: in this case, the bank of a river, a country house, a forest or a street will act as festive decorations. The folk ensemble “Russian Will” can celebrate the holiday as well as no one else can.

Even if a large number of guests are present at the event, the team will provide each invited guest with the opportunity to participate in a wonderful interactive folklore performance. Each performance of the folklore ensemble has a different duration, it all depends on the wishes of the customer. The team can, for example, greet their guests according to a real Russian folk custom, traditionally presenting a glass of bread and salt. Basically, this procedure takes them a little time: about twenty minutes. They can also hold a corporate evening with company employees or a wedding evening in a few hours. And if it is a city holiday with traditional festivities, then it can generally be held for several days. “Russian Will” fills people’s lives with real ancient music; it revives the traditions and culture of Rus'.

The folklore ensemble “Ladanka” began to operate in 1991 at the Moscow Theater “Group of Citizens”, then its director was A.G. Lyubimov, and then Natalya Vladimirovna Sizova was appointed artistic director. After the “Group of Citizens” theater was disbanded, the ensemble ended up in the Moscow Center Performing Arts"ApARTe". And after this Center was liquidated in 1995, the folklore and ethnic ensemble “Ladanka” began to lead an independent creative career. The folklore ensemble “Ladanka” involves professional artists who graduated from secondary and higher musical institutions in Moscow (the Gnessin Academy, MGUK - University of Culture, the Gnessin Secondary Music School and the College of Culture, as well as actors (GITIS)).

The creative ensemble draws its creative material on various expeditions, on which all team members go once or twice a year. The team has a large video, photo and audio archive, which contains the most valuable materials of Russian folk art. They have large archive information about Russian folk songs, folk dances, instrumental and oral ritual creativity (stories, memories of rituals, living conditions of the Russian people) in all regions of Russia. The team has collected a collection of ancient costumes, some of the costumes are over a hundred years old. The ensemble began its creative activity very actively. Back in 1991, they showed the premieres of two performance programs: “The Bells Ringed” and “Dunya Was Born Good”, these performances were shown in the CDSA and the Central House of Arts. Already in 1993, the team completed and staged on the stage of the Moscow Drama Theater named after Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin large creative work: Folk opera in three scenes “Babye Pole” (fifteenth, eighteenth, twenty-first June 1993). Since 1992, “Ladanka” has been a frequent guest on television, for example, the “LAD” program, which featured various programs of the “Ladanka” ensemble, mainly according to the folk calendar: “Old New Year", "Christmastide" and "Nativity", as well as "Easter" and others, starting from 1993. The folklore ensemble "Ladanka" was the representative of the city of Moscow at the international festival of folklore of Siberia in the city of Omsk, this group received a Festival Diploma. The folklore ensemble "Ladanka" has a couple of programs in which they show regional dances, regional features of singing, this is a very good, visual and practical guide for groups that are just starting to try themselves in this area of creativity.

The team also received attention from the newspapers “Evening Club”, issue dated June 1, 1993, “Salvation” (article “What Ladanka Keeps”), and the magazine “Folk Creativity”, issue dated January 1, 1994. In 1995, the folklore ensemble “Ladanka” received a diploma and also became a Laureate of the All-Russian Festival of Folk Art with the name “Victory Salute”. And in 1996, the ensemble took part in the folklore and ethnic festival, which took place in the city of St. Petersburg. They showed many concert folklore programs for children, and they also performed at the Academy of Culture in St. Petersburg, giving a performance for teachers and students of the music department. Then we gave a couple of concerts in the suburbs of St. Petersburg, in particular in the city Sosnovy Bor. In May 1996, a folklore ensemble represented Russia at the festival Slavic writing and culture in Moldova.

For the first time about family folklore theater“Radonitsa” was heard in Novosibirsk in 1990 (February-April), it became the very first family folk ensemble in the entire Russian Union among amateur folklore ensembles. Until 1994, twelve families participated in the team. Parents and children (aged ten months to twelve years) participated. All participants went together on ethnographic expeditions to villages and hamlets of Russian regions. In particular, they visited the Kemerovo, Surgut, Novosibirsk, Tyumen, Perm, Volgograd, Pskov, Vologda, and Gomel regions, but this is not a complete list; they also visited the Altai Territory. In villages and villages of the Novosibirsk region, they organized and held various calendar holidays, in accordance with the rituals and customs of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, and actively participated in all All-Russian folklore festivals.

We visited Yekaterinburg, Kaluga, Vologda, Barnaul, Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar, Vladivostok, Perm, Nizhny Tagil, St. Petersburg, Krasnoyarsk, Vilnius and Ust-Kamenogorsk. From the very first months of his creative development the family ensemble had the good support of folklore leaders of Novosibirsk, among them: candidate of philological sciences, professor of NSPU M.N. Melnikov, Candidate of Arts, Professor of the M. I. Glinka N.V. NGC (Academy) Leonova and vice-president of the RFU (Russian Folklore Union) V.V. Aksanov. The folk ensemble “Radunitsa” is the founder of the revival of real Russian folk calendar Siberian holidays in the 1990s. The first village Maslenitsa were very successful; they were ethnographically reliable from the entire year-round cycle of the “holiday calendar of Siberia” (in 1990, the village of Mirny, Toguchinsky district, and in 1991, the village of Balman, which is located in the Kuibyshevsky district of the NSO). Everything they had was historically and ritually correctly built: everything was built as a reconstruction of the Maslenitsa celebration, which is typical for the villages of the Tomsk province in Siberia, they strictly observed the ritual of each Maslenitsa day, built slides, staged a wall-to-wall fist fight, took snow town. They also rode “troikas” and galloped on horses, staged a “funny performance” of Maslenitsa with Bathhouse and Voevoda in the snow, and also performed dousing with cold water. It is this “model program” for celebrating Maslenitsa that has become the main one today in the scenario of most folklore groups in Siberia. In 1994, several more young participants came to the family folklore ensemble - students of the A.F. Murova. Thanks to the performing musicians - pianists, violinists, pop singers and brass players - youthful enthusiasm, musical interest in the quality of performance of all ethnographic material, a professional, very deep and serious attitude to song, instrumental genres and choreography appeared in the creative activity of “Radonitsa”.

The folklore ensemble “Radonitsa” is unique in that for twenty years it has been continuing, and most importantly, developing its own tradition of the Kutafin-Borodin family (songs of the village of Lokti, which is located in the Moshkovsky district of the NSO, and wedding rituals). They study other authentic Siberian traditions, for example, they study the songs of the families of Transbaikalia and quadrilles (a type of dance) of the Kerzhaks (an ethnographic group of Old Believers) of the Novosibirsk region. Over a twenty-year period, thirteen wedding couples danced, sang and got married in the ensemble. Two families each had five children, who are raised by their parents in accordance with all the “folk and spiritual traditions of Russian Siberians.” In 1998, students from the Department of Folklore and Ethnography of the NOKKI successfully joined the ensemble. In 2004, “Radonitsa” became a creative workshop for many NSPU students who studied at the Faculty of Culture and additional education, and since 2006 - for young people who participated in the NGI folklore studio. “Radonitsa” is the first group in Siberia (and one of the few in all of Russia) that has been passionate about purposefully collecting many examples of Siberian national choreography since 1990. They carefully preserve in their constant repertoire their favorites, recorded and already learned by the participants of this folklore-ethnic ensemble during a large number of expeditions - fifteen Siberian quadrilles, twenty-five dances, various ornamental round dances, game evening songs - in total they have one hundred and twelve titles from the author's collection. That is why today all members of the team are the creative “core” for the Novosibirsk youth club of Russian ethnic (folk) dance “Krutukha”, which appeared in May 2009 in the Cultural Center named after the October Revolution.

As a result of serious scientific and practical, educational and research work they have won many awards and added a lot of ethnic material to their repertoire. They have a collection (ethnographic description) of eleven Siberian traditional games, which are included in the Encyclopedia folk game and toys of Russia"; held more than three hundred charity evenings, creative meetings and performances in orphanages, schools, charity homes, as well as at RFU (Russian Folklore Union) festivals. The team was organized together with the vice-president of the Russian Folklore Union V.V. Asanov. children's folklore subscription " National holiday": held every month free concert, which children's folklore groups of Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk region. Members of the ensemble together with V.I. Baitunganov created the first “Russian School” in Novosibirsk folk culture"in the Kalinin Palace of Culture, it existed for a relatively short time, only a year: from 1992 to 1993

The folk ensemble "Radeya" studies and popularizes Traditional Slavic culture through songs, dances, games, rituals, round dances and music. The basis of their programs is traditional Russian and Ukrainian folklore, including the material that they collected on frequent folklore expeditions. The folklore ensemble "Radeya" offers people to celebrate any holiday in folk style. They create and promote programs in an authentic folk style. Their holiday events are designed for completely different audiences, no matter what the audience (children or adults) and no matter what space is provided (stage, indoor space, open area, natural environment) - everyone will receive good mood and real action. They can participate in a ready-made concert program or hold their own holiday program. The team takes part in the holidays of Kolyada, Maslenitsa, the Meeting of Spring, Easter, Trinity, Kupala, the Harvest Festival (stubble), weddings and other modern holidays (birthdays, anniversaries, and so on). People of Slavic culture receive from the performance of the ensemble the joy of “memories of themselves”, from participation in their programs, lifting of spirit, good mood, as well as a feeling of involvement in traditions, pride in their country and in themselves, for the people.

People of other cultures receive extraordinary amazement from the beauty and depth of Slavic culture, acquaintance with a previously unknown world, huge amount positive impressions, vivid memories and emotions. People who love and study Slavic culture will receive from their performances a deeper and more sensual insight into the world of Slavic traditions; they will experience this Festive Act of rituals that unite the world of Nature and Man, the Creator and the Universe. During the performance of the group, listeners experience positive feelings: surprise, energy, admiration, delight, curiosity, enthusiasm, a pleasant feeling that such art exists and many others. The uniqueness of the group lies in the fact that it has a large number of folk Russian and Ukrainian songs (more than two hundred), which they collected during folklore and ethnographic expeditions. The performance of the folk ensemble "Radeya" is a great chance to get acquainted with the amazing wealth of Slavic culture. The sounds of folk songs performed by the ensemble are unique vibrations that penetrate the listener from head to toe; they have a healing effect and harmonize the soul, spirit and body of a person.

Each team program is unique and individual. The ensemble has a huge repertoire and extensive experience in conducting programs, thanks to this the group can calmly improvise directly during the holiday. The ensemble was formed on November 10, 2004, but all members of the ensemble had known each other for a long time. All participants became friends and were brought together by their participation in the student folklore group of the Donetsk National University “Divina”, whose leadership to this day is the ethnic musicologist Elena Vitalievna Tyurikova. It was she who instilled a great love for musical folklore in all members of the ensemble. After they left the university team, the girls got together again within a couple of weeks, because it turned out that they could no longer live without song and singing. It was that date that began to be considered the birth of the ensemble “Radeya”, which changed more than one place of its rehearsals and did not immediately receive this name. The group came up with the name only the third time, the ensemble members like that the name contains the ancient word “Ra”, which means “shine” sunlight, “deya” means action and “ya” means I. The name together stands for “I act under the radiance of the light of Ra, in the radiance of the light of the sun and in the radiance of light”...

The team wants its activities as a folklore ensemble and, in general, work in the field of studying folklore to be an increase in the bright beginning in the life of every person. The ensemble studies existing, that is, authentic folklore of its region, goes on expeditions, studies folklore directly from living carriers - “grandmothers”. Grandmothers are very generous, they help them in many ways. IN current composition The Radeya team consists of six people: Olga Zapalskaya, Olga Suprunova, Natalya Dutova, Olga Melnik, Dmitry Borisenko and Irina Borisenko. All participants have different education and different views on life, but they all love to sing together, and this gives them common goals: performances, new thoughts and ideas, studying folklore.

A folk ensemble called “Istoki” appeared in 1978 in the “October” cultural center in the city of Podolsk, which is located in the Moscow region, it was created by Elena Vladimirovna Bessonova. The main goal of this creative team is the recreation and development cultural traditions of your region. Since the 1980s, the ensemble began to go on frequent folklore expeditions throughout the Podolsk region. Creative activity The ensemble is constantly growing, including research, teaching, and performing activities. Thanks to this, in 1944, on the basis of the ensemble, the Center for Traditional Culture of the Southern Moscow Region was created with the name “Origins”.

Over all its twenty-five years of work on stage and beyond, the folklore ensemble “Istoki” has truly found its own style and is a true bearer of Russian culture in the Moscow region. Its name, “Origins,” perfectly reflects the activities of the Center, because the goal of the Center is the revival, research and search for everything beautiful that our ancestors once owned and were able to do. There are many different ensembles at the Istoki Center, and all of them are very active in the festival and concert activities. More than once the ensemble has become a laureate of the largest international competitions and festivals. In 1920, he was at the International Festival in Italy, the city of Ascoli Piceno, in 1992, the ensemble was present at the International Competition of Folklore Ensembles in Belarus with the name “Simon-Music”, also in 1992, he was seen at International Children's Folklore Festival in Romania, Tulcea. In 1995, the group attended the International Folk Art Festival in Slovenia, the city of Maribor.

In 1999 and 2000, the ensemble was present at the international festival " Golden autumn"in the city of Podolsk, in 2002 they were at the International Folklore Festival "Baltic - 2002" in Lithuania, the city of Vilnius. The team also took part in All-Russian folklore festivals, which took place in cities such as Novosibirsk, Omsk, Perm, Vologda, Yekaterinburg, Volgograd, Samara, St. Petersburg and others. In addition to their concert activities, “Istoki” also collects folklore in various folklore expeditions. They have a lot of scientific material on folklore songs, folk customs and rituals of the Tula and Moscow regions. Many rituals and customs of the folk calendar have been reconstructed: Trinity, Yuletide festivities, Maslenitsa and many others. Thanks to the collected materials and eyewitness accounts, the ensemble completely restored the wedding ceremony that took place in the Tula region (regions of the middle reaches of the Oka River). Very interesting are: “bride’s laments”, “maiden’s” songs, songs “until the crown”, as well as “corrugating” and “magnificent” songs, which are present in large numbers, and even with full, detailed texts. Ritual songs are also quite widely represented: “game”, “passage”, “round dance”, “to the meadows”, “walking”, “Yuletide” and “Glorification of Christ”. Based on these materials, the ensemble tried to recreate all the fragments of the rituals. At the moment, “Istoki” is collaborating with leading Russian organizations that work in the field of ethnography and folklore. All materials that the expedition found and collected are subjected to very serious research, recorded, and then systematized and deciphered.

Thanks to the results of the first expeditions, the content of the work of the “Istoki” team has changed greatly. The ensemble's repertoire includes dances and songs local tradition. The appearance of all members of the team has also changed: they restore and reconstruct the traditional folk clothes of their very distant relatives. They also sew costumes for themselves from fabrics that are very similar to the past, they embroider, weave belts and make hats. Thanks to this and the mastery of artistic crafts, the members of the group really create an ensemble in which everything is so harmoniously connected - appearance, song and dance. That is, the ensemble is not engaged in reconstruction and revival separate work and type folk art, he revives its main principle: the interaction of external material life and its internal spiritual manifestation, as well as the organic nature of the very way of life itself. More than two hundred children study at the Istoki Center. They all study: ethnography, the history of Russian folk costume, folk singing, folk instruments, folk dance, arts and crafts, embroidery. All classes take place on the basis and thanks to the material collected during multiple expeditions. Training is carried out according to a program that was developed and based on 20 years of experience of “Istoki” in the field of pedagogy. The teaching staff is based on graduates of the same Center, currently graduates of higher cultural studies and pedagogical educational institutions. The “Istoki” center is one of the organizers of the already traditional International Folklore Festival, called “Golden Autumn”, which takes place in the city of Podolsk. The symbol of this festival is a sheaf of wheat, which is decorated according to ancient custom. Many folk ensembles from all over great Russia come to decorate it.

“Altai-Kai” are virtuosos of throat singing who skillfully master all its styles, as well as varieties of kaya and ordinary musical instruments. The low, velvety sounds of the karykyra, the incredible khoomei and musical sygyt-sybysky, the very naturally conveyed sounds of nature - the murmur of a stream, the singing of birds, the voices of predators, and also the very gentle female throat singing and simply female singing, the melody of the komus, accordion and topshur - this is exactly what everything is the music of “Altai-Kai”.

On the twenty-sixth of December two thousand and eleven, on the stage of the Crimean Tatar Musical and Drama Academic Theater, the Crimean Tatar folk ensemble with the name “Kyrym” presented its New Year's program. The artistic activity of this Crimean Tatar folk ensemble personifies centuries-old traditions related to the creativity of the people, to their highest spiritual culture. The team began its activities in one thousand nine hundred and ninety in the city of Simferopol, the director and artistic director then was and is now the Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan Server Kakura and Ukraine. The main goal of the folklore ensemble "Kyrym" is to revive, develop, preserve and popularize national, vocal and choreographic art Crimean Tatars, A main task is to instill the highest morality in the generation that is growing up. The total staff of the folklore ensemble is fifty people, thirty-six of them are in the creative composition of the group. The repertoire of this Crimean Tatar ensemble is quite rich and varied.

The performances of the ensemble are such a bright spectacle, all the artists are dressed in colorful decorations national costumes. Based on Crimean Tatar folk dances and songs, legends and tales, many highly artistic vocal and choreographic compositions have been created, for example: “Yavluk”, “Dyugyun”, “Agyr ava ve Khaitarma”, “Choban”, “Tym-tym” and many others , which very clearly convey the aesthetic ideals and traditions of the Crimean Tatars. All members of the folklore ensemble collect priceless bits and pieces musical heritage Crimean Tatar people, common feature which are large losses, which subsequently led to a large number gaps, to the loss of entire eras. The orchestra of the ensemble has a wonderful sound, probably due to the fact that the participants use national Crimean Tatar instruments, such as: oud, dare, chubuk-davul, zurna, saz - they convey a unique flavor and picturesqueness folk music. In the repertoire of the folklore ensemble "Kyrym" there is a professionally presented genre, which today is almost unexplored - this spiritual chant“Ilyakhi”, which had never been heard on the professional stage before.

On the fourteenth of October at eight o’clock in the evening, in a teahouse called “Yurta,” a wonderful concert of the folk ensemble “Tuva” took place - they are one of the best throat singers of Tuva. From the very first minutes of the ensemble’s existence, the basis of its program has been throat singing in different techniques(kargyra, sygyt, borbannadyr, khoomei, ezengileer) when the performer produces two or more sounds at the same time. This is the very first creative team throughout the republic, it was formed in nineteen eighty-eight, its goal was the revival of the national culture of Tuva, its cultural self-identification, they want to preserve the performing traditions of throat singing of Tuva, to make a great contribution to the evolution of the art of throat singing of Tuva. The ancestors of the Tuvans, who previously inhabited Tuva, found and preserved the art of throat singing, all its types, as well as all types of musical instruments of the nomads. Tuva is a place where Scythians, Sarmatians, Turks, Huns, Uighurs and Kyrgyz lived. All this is present in the songs of the folk ensemble “Tyva”. This explains the widest range of themes of this group: they perform music from meditative contemplative to pathetic. The ensemble has a fairly diverse repertoire, it includes ensemble and solo throat singing in all five styles, instrumental playing on traditional instruments, epic poetry, as well as Tuvan original folk and original songs.

We can say that “Tyva” is a fundamental, basic composition from which many “currency” folk groups emerged, such as “Yat-kha”, “Alash” and “Khuun-khur-tu”. Folklore ensemble "Tuva" is the only throat singing ensemble that constantly tours and performs khoomei in all remote corners of Tuva. This ensemble was recognized by the public not only in Tuva or Russia, but also in many other countries of the world. In two thousand and three, the team was awarded the Grand Prix at music festival“Melodies of the East” in the city of Samarkand, which was held under the patronage of UNESCO. In two thousand and eight, the folklore ensemble “Tuva” participated in the filming of a documentary film about throat singing in Tuva; the film was produced by the Turkish National Television Company. It should also be added that the folk ensemble “Tyva” toured the cities of Belgium, Germany, Mongolia, Sweden and Taiwan with great success.
