Vocal and instrumental ensembles. The musical Universe of the Soviet Union 🎶 In many spheres of activity, the Soviet Union opened new possibilities to humanity and set the direction of development. Music was no exception. The USSR kept pace with world trends, yet Soviet musicians did not merely adopt the new, but created their own distinctive currents. Thus emerged the vocal and instrumental ensembles — the VIA — which united rock, pop music, folk folklore and polyphonic singing. It was the modern music of its time — bright, memorable, expressive, which found a response in the hearts of millions of people. 💛 The works of the ensembles reflected the people's very attitude to life — luminous, full of hopes and confidence in tomorrow. This music sounded absolutely everywhere: in the streets, on dance floors, on the radio and on television. Soviet VIAs performed abroad as well and took part in international festivals. Today vocal and instrumental ensembles are not a relic of the past, but part of the musical heritage in which the energy, optimism and spirit of an entire era have been preserved. #SOVINTERN_ACHIEVMENTS ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
