He is very sociable and besides has a beautiful ‘’national’’ voice He is a fanatical enthuasiast of folklore. He explained his arrival to Astrakhan simply- in the Moscow conservatory practically there is no folklore material from the Volga regions.

Actor’s song Made by n Yevgeny Stepanov n Indira Omarova n Tatiana Chumakova n 9 -B n

Like in literature there are lots of genres in music. The oldest one is classical; the youngest are pop, rap, rock and bard’s song. Actor’s song has a particular place in this list. This style was founded long time ago. Its founders were actors of old Russian theatres. Among them there were Vertinsky, Shulzhenko, Mironov, Kamburova and etc.

n Actor’s song is a kind of a bard’s song. They sing their own songs with a guitar. The difference is only in a way they do it –there are more emotions. Actors don’t just sing their songs- they perform or act. This year Astrakhan actors hold the first concert of actor’s song. It was devoted to International Theatre Day. Seven actors from four theatres of our city-Drama, Puppet, Musical and Children’s onesgathered together on the stage of Actor’s House. They sang and acted their own songs and songs from films. All the performers contributed their feelings and hearts into the songs. The concert became a chamber one. That’s why there were few members of the audience. These photographs and sound files haven’t been published so we have a unique opportunity to be convinced in the big talent of Astrakhan theatre school.
