THE VOICEMAG "Main Persons" Award

"VOICE: Main Faces" at the House of Music. Symphony of Light and Sound.

This year, the Voice award ceremony took place on the unique stage of the Moscow International House of Music — a place where every note sounds special. The concept of the evening was inspired by the very atmosphere of the venue: the leitmotif of the show was different directions of musical art and a live organ. The audience was treated to a new interpretation of familiar tracks — with live arrangements, the use of live instruments and a powerful organ sound.

The opening of the award ceremony was marked by an organ intro, specially created for the concert. A polyphonic choir, a conductor and surround sound filled the hall, turning the introduction into a theatrical musical performance.

A special moment was the unexpected opening of the first number: the a cappella choir performed the canon of the chorus of the track "Blondes and Glamour", after which the choir, organist and conductor literally "entered" the role of soloists, performing the song together with a live orchestra and choral inserts.

Behind the aesthetics and lightness of the show was precision engineering work:

— For the first time: suspension of the LED screen on computer winches - with the latest ultra-light screen to fit within strict weight restrictions

— Mountains of voluminous props and a backline in a tiny backstage

— Light without smoke: the kit was selected so that everything worked in conditions of a complete taboo on any special effects

— Projection + LED: a successful synergy, where even the organ became a canvas for mapping on the artists' numbers!
