"Bora played host to the "Potechinskiy Kamerton" festival"
The Potekhinsky Tuning Fork festival, held in Bor, Russia, recently marked its 7th edition and attracted a diverse crowd from various cities across the country. Vladimir Glazunov, a prominent figure in the Russian bayan community, expressed his belief that the festival will continue to thrive despite any challenges.
The event, which took place on the left bank of the Volga, was a testament to the growing popularity of the Russian bayan. Known for its rich, vibrant treble and powerful bass, the bayan produces a unique concert sound that sets it apart. Original Russian bayans are especially renowned for their much more powerful bass, contributing to their distinctive tonal richness and depth.
The Potekhinsky Tuning Fork festival featured a parade of bayan players and a master class in Russian dance, among other activities. Thousands of spectators from all over the country gathered to watch performances by folk ensembles. One such participant was Love Protasova from Vologda city, who declared her motto as "Songs, dance, and the bayan - they always go with me."
The geographical diversity of the festival participants was evident, with over a hundred attendees from 20 regions of Russia. People came from cities such as Ivanovo and Chelyabinsk to be a part of this vibrant celebration of Russian culture.
Vladimir Glazunov, a Golden Ten Russian bayanist and laureate of national and international competitions, attended the festival. His presence underscores the significance of the Potekhinsky Tuning Fork festival within the Russian bayan and folk music community. Glazunov expressed optimism about the festival's future, expressing his belief that it will continue to grow and flourish.
A fair of decorative and applied arts and folk crafts was also held during the festival, providing an opportunity for attendees to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Russian culture. The festival was near the "Steamship" cultural centre, and a highlight of the event was a parade of bayan players at the Museum of Military Technology.
The Potekhinsky Tuning Fork festival continues to grow in popularity, with its influence on the bayan's popularity yet to be confirmed through direct information. Regardless, the festival serves as a platform for the celebration and promotion of the Russian bayan and folk music, making it an essential event in the cultural calendar of Russia.
