In the vibrant heart of Milan, the prestigious Circolo Filologico Milanese is gearing up to host an extraordinary event on Wednesday, October 11th, celebrating art, music, and solidarity: Il Gran Ballo in Maschera (the Grand Masquerade Ball), an enchanting evening organized by the esteemed association “Stravinsky Russkie Motivi,” conceived by soprano and President of the Association, Larissa Yudina.

The Stravinsky Russkie Motivi Association aspires to promote friendship among diverse cultures through the beauty of the arts, bringing together individuals from every corner of the globe. President Larissa Yudina passionately asserts that music has the power to unite people, inspire love and friendship, creating a world where peace and harmony prevail.

Il Gran Ballo in Maschera, scheduled for Wednesday, October 11, 2022, at Circolo Filologico Milanese, is an ode to the beauty and variety of the arts. The event is inspired by Giuseppe Verdi’s opera, “Un ballo in Maschera,” a work that melds tragedy and lightness into a complex score where feelings of passion, friendship, and patriotism are masterfully intertwined.

The Stravinsky Orchestra, composed of talented musicians from various parts of the world, will guide the musical entertainment, accompanying attendees on a journey through famous waltzes and polonaises. Renowned musical artists such as Sofia Villanueva, Carlos Verduga, Tatiana Fedevich, Gianfranco Messina, Lucia Colonna, and Alexander Zyumbrovskiy, alongside Orchestra Director and pianist M. Simonetta Tancredi, will deliver an unforgettable performance.

Alongside the Stravinsky Orchestra, the emotive voices of singers Maria Veretenina, Soprano from Tallin, Larissa Yudina, and the baritone Demetrio Colaci, the event’s Godfather, will breathe life into the touching scenes of Verdi’s opera. Additionally, the evening will feature a special performance by soprano Natali Art, providing a vibrant interpretation during dinner.

Guest of honour, Conductor Maestro Alberto Veronesi.
Art will also take centre stage in the high fashion and fur parade curated by Fashion Designer Violetta Nakhimova, enchanting artistic creations by Niccolò Calvi di Bergolo and Andrea Leonardi and the presentation of the sustainable fashion collection by Valentina Nessi, an unparalleled guest of the evening.

The “Grand Masquerade Ball” is a tribute to art and a gesture of generosity towards the community. During the evening, a charity lottery will take place, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Beteavòn Association, the first and only kosher social kitchen in Italy, providing free meals to those in need.

The event is made possible through the invaluable collaboration of numerous partners and sponsors who believe in the importance of promoting beauty and solidarity: Pilgrim – Roman Golnikov, Vigneto dei Salumi, The Lord of Truffle, Famiglia Di Carlo, Acqua Lauretana, Beluga Restaurant, Castello di Piea – Asti, Admiral by Violetta Nakhimova, Paolo Jucker, Linco Baxo s.p.a., Castello di Piovera, Il Foglio Diamond, Valentina Nessi, Canale Europa TV, Celebre Magazine, Luxury Investment Magazine, Journal des Bijoux, and Rinascimento Magazine Beach Radio UK… all joining forces to make this gala evening an unforgettable experience.

And so, Larissa Yudina emphasizes the importance of art as an educational vehicle and a catalyst for the positive transformation of the world. The Stravinsky Russkie Motivi Association continues to promote and spread the beauty of the arts, strengthening the moral and spiritual values of peace and humanity that are more essential for our world today than ever before.
