At a press conference,
dedicated to the representation of the multi-functional concert complex
“Charge”, the most acute was the speech of the Chairman of the Supervisory
Council for the creative development of this new concert halls with Valery Gergiev.

Talking about the artists who will be invited to speak in “charge”,
musician of world renown, said: “I am opposed to large financial costs.
To pay Western stars ten times more than they receive for the same work
in the world is a sickness of Russia, and the ugly phenomenon. We have the Mariinsky theatre in Saint-Petersburg
we can obtain almost any star without much financial efforts. Because
what we have above all human respect and human relations.
And any reputable music festival, the mayor of a major cultural center,
the Prime Minister- has the potential to be our partners in this process.”

Also one of the
the most brilliant conductors in the world elaborated on the acoustics of the hall. “Natural
phonics — the main key to the success of the concert hall, — he stressed. And all over the world chasing
this miracle. But this is very difficult to achieve. And in modern buildings acoustics often
have to fix, “to bring” with the help of technical means. A “charge” for us it was
fundamental to do natural, natural acoustics. 12 years
ago, we built the Concert hall in St. Petersburg, where very much engaged in
this issue. Now “charge” is an improved embodiment of all that we could
to test the Mariinsky theatre during the 12 seasons!”
