About Us
Trajectory of Music is an independent cultural platform founded to organize international projects in new academic music and sound art in partnership with leading Russian and foreign musicians and cultural institutions.
Our mission is to facilitate the creation of new music by Russian and foreign composers, stimulate research and popularize contemporary music in Russia.
Founded in Moscow in 2015 by composer Arman Gushchyan, the Trajectory of Music platform started with eNsemble + Phoenix, a Russian tour of two prominent bands playing contemporary music, Ensemble Phoenix Basel (Switzerland) and Pro Arte's eNsemble (Saint Petersburg, Russia). The bands gave five concerts, performing eight pieces of Russian and Swiss composers, five of which were written specially for the tour. The concerts were played on the Alexandrinsky Theater's New Stage (Saint Petersburg), in the Multimedia Art Museum (Moscow), and the State Center of Contemporary Art (Nizhny Novgorod).
In 2017, the Trajectory of Music platform and the Opera Apriori international vocal music festival launched a project called Requiem for Josquin Desprez: Jean Richafort (с.1480 – с.1547) and Composers of the 21st Century. Five contemporary composers from Russia, France and Austria created new pieces for the Russian premier of the Requiem written by Jean Richafort, a great polyphonist of the Renaissance, having supplemented it with missing canonical prayers of the Latin funeral mass and created a unique musical supercomposition that bring together musical pieces of different composers and different epochs. The premier in the Roman Catholic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception of the Holy Virgin Mary in Moscow was a great success.
In October 2017, the Trajectory of Music platform organized an international contemporary music and sound art festival, Everything Is Real, dedicated to Alvin Lucier, an American composer and a classic of experimental music. The festival was the longest personal event dedicated to Alvin Lusier's work at that time. During six days, five major cultural centers in Moscow – Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow International House of Music, Theater of Nations' New Space and Electrotheater Stanislavsky – hosted four lectures, a meet-the-artist session, master classes for young composers, screening of a documentary, and four concerts performed by the best Moscow bands and soloists of contemporary music, as well as guests of the festival, including American percussionist Trevor Saint, German sound artist Haucke Harder and Alvin Lucier himself. The festival featured 17 compositions. Nine of them were Russian premiers of the pieces written by Alvin Lucier, James Tenney and Morton Feldman. For the first time in Russia, Alvin Lucier performed his legendary compositions Music for Solo Performer, I am sitting in a room, and Bird and Person Dyning. The festival also featured a world premiere of Alvin Lucier's new piece Sickle written specially for the festival Everything Is Real.
