The orchestra has repeatedly performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the legendary Birdland jazz club and other no less prestigious concert venues in the world.
The Igor Butman Jazz Orchestra, together with the People's Artist of Russia Larisa Dolina, created the concert program "Jazz Carnival", with which they successfully performed in Moscow, as well as in other cities of Russia, Ukraine, Israel and America. In 2003, the double album Carnival of Jazz was released, recorded during concerts in the Rossiya Hall. Premiere new program"Jazz Carnival 2. No comments" took place in July 2008 on the stage of Lincoln Center as part of the JVC Jazz Festival and caused a stir among jazz fans in New York: the Rose Theater barely accommodated everyone who wanted to get to the concerts.
The head of the orchestra, Igor Butman, does not limit himself to the jazz mainstream and loves to create crossover projects: the Igor Butman Jazz Orchestra often tours with the American pianist and composer Igor Raikhelson, Grammy Award-winning violist Yuri Bashmet and his chamber ensemble Moscow Soloists. In 2009, their big tour of US cities took place.

The New Year's Jazz Club is a tradition that has been pleasing students, their parents, as well as teachers and guests of the Children's Art School for about twenty years. Stravinsky.
The Jazz Club began as a chamber event in a small hall.
New Year's entourage, balls and crackers under a smart Christmas tree, jazz pieces in the first act and a baking contest in the second.
That was the original idea.
Over the years, there were more and more participants, sweets prepared by students and their parents no longer fit on the table in a small office, and a few years later the jazz club moved to a large hall, and the culinary part was replaced by a delicious buffet for participants after the concert.
There are no age restrictions for performers - the youngest artists have not yet completed the first grade, and the oldest ones are already bringing their children to the Children's Art School. Stravinsky.
There is only one requirement for the repertoire - the mood is "jazz".
Duets and ensembles are also welcome.
We invite everyone!

Preparation for the onset of the long winter holidays is always preceded by the question - where and with whom to celebrate one of the main holidays of the year? Many people prefer to celebrate this celebration with their families and loved ones, set the table, generously decorate windows with snowflakes and put a fragrant fir tree in a spacious room. But it is worth remembering that the New Year 2017 in jazz cafes in Moscow and St. Petersburg can bring you no less positive impressions, vivid emotions and, perhaps, even adventures! For those who plan to celebrate January 1 outside their native walls, JazzPeople has collected interesting jazz events and places on the night of December 31.
1 SAINT PETERSBURG
JAZZ CLUB JFC
Every year on December 31, according to tradition, the oldest jazz club in St. Petersburg arranges an Evening New Year's Jazz Ball. Over the years, the Easy Winners Ragtime Band have become the main characters of the ball. Musicians easily transport listeners to another era - and the point is not only in the music of the middle of the 20th century, but also in what instruments they use to perform their jazz. Instead of the drums familiar to the public - a washboard; instead of a double bass - a home-made bass instrument basbidon, or double bass; banjo - originally from West Africa, ikazu - a metal or plastic cylinder tapering towards the end with a tissue paper membrane inserted into a metal cork.
The program will appeal to listeners no less than appearance performers. The selection of songs is structured so that the performance is like musical journey into the past. Gorgeous, danceable, extraordinary jazz from the 1940s to the 1970s will lay the main musical line of the Evening New Year's Jazz Ball.
Beginning on December 31 at 20:00 (Shpalernaya st., 33)
