WAR & PEACE
by Alexander Boldachev
Alexander Boldachev presents at the International Festival of Santander WAR AND PEACE: a musical program created after he left his home country, rebelling against the war. Since 2022, Alexander has been involved in dozens of charity projects to help refugees, raise people’s awareness, and share xhe hope and need for peace.
This program reflects on the turbulent past and bright future, bridging centuries of musical expression to convey a profound narrative of sorrow, yearning, and serenity. Selected pieces span various eras, encapsulating the essence of our collective experiences and emotions.
The program underscores the shared human response to conflicts, transcending borders and cultures to foster unity, understanding, and a joint future.
