New ship was launched to the Volga

Today a new ship was launched to the Volga river. The experienced sailors didn't conn the ship. Young sailors did that. There were a dress uniform, an orchestra and invited guests. There has not been such solemn event in Children's Sea Center after Ushakov yet. And only because the young sailors were presented with a ship.

Architecture of Movement's parks

Parks, parks and parks. There are lots of parks in Yaroslavl which are very green and beautiful either in summer and winter. You can just talk a walk or run in a circle. But there are more interesting things which have been realised by Architecture of Movement organisers.

Three times during this September — 6th, 13th and 27th — there were great performances directly in parks.

Dancing, music and light show with some hand-made activity were in Yaroslavl when citizens have gone to the parks. We know that in Europe and US it is common to be in a green park and just sit on grass. But for us it is very uncommon and a new experience. That is why we want to change parks and make them better for leisure.

Time will show and now you can see photographs from these events: 6th, 13th and 27th of September.

Jazz at Large

Another interesting event was on 16th of September. As all events of September, this one was also provided by Architecture of Movement.

 

 

The name of the quite amazing performance was "Jazz na Svobode" (either Free Jazz and Jazz at Large, a Russian pun). The main idea was to play jazz on the balcony and in the same time passersby can't see an orchestra. They only should listen to free music, jazz music, street music.

As if the music was from air.

People heard the music but could not understand where it came from. It was city filled with beautiful sounds.

Everything was fine. You can make sure of this yourself.
