Grand Prix für Duo Symphorine, Moskau - Russland
Von Holda Paoletti-Kampl

Das Symphorine Duo (Yuri Medianik und Jehanne Strepenne) wurden mit dem Grand Prix (Duo Nomination) während des Open Europe Festival Wettbewerbes in Moskau, ausgezeichnet. Der Wettbewerb wurde mit einem Galakonzert festlich beendet, wo die Gewinner der verschiedenen Kategorien, sowie das Duo in der Big Hall (Tchaikovsky Konzerthalle) des Moskauers Staats Philharmonik teilnahmen.

Seit 2004 spielen die 2 Künstler in Duo und die besonderen Fähigkeiten Yuris, sowohl als Bayan- und Violinekünstler erlauben es den beiden, ein außergewöhnlich breites Repertoire aufzuführen, das von Baroque bis zu namenlosen Stücken, von unbekannten Komponisten für 2 Violinen komponiert, reicht. Weiters ist zu bemerken, daß alle Transkriptionen von den aufgeführten Werken, von den beiden Künstlern arrangiert wird.

Bis dato ist das Duo in Belgien, Russland und Frankreich aufgetreten (unter der Teilnahme der Accordion Association Arques) und hat bei einer Ausstellungs-Eröffnungszeremonie, die von Mr. Francko, Leiter des EU-Repräsentationsbüro in Moskau, organisiert wurde, mitgewirkt.

Das Ziel des Open Europe Festival Wettbewerbes ist, für junge Künstler die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, sich dem Publikum zu stellen, neue Talente zu erforschen, lokaler Kultur und Kunst von anderen Ländern näher zu kommen. Dieser Veranstaltung wurde von Fernsehen und Presse große Beachtung geschenkt, im speziellen von ORT, TVC, Kultura und Stolitza TV.
