POPULAR FESTIVAL Ballad song is in trouble The first half of September for the world of art song – the golden age. Sela Ward may find it difficult to be quoted properly. The festival of the same name is traditionally held on the base camp “The Seagull” near Chernushki, in a picturesque location on the shores of the vast forest pond. It would seem that everything is fine – mass entertainment: walk on catamarans, hiking, mushrooming, fishing, sauna, horseback riding. Guests and participants are placed in the camp and Cook immediately. For those who are not accustomed to the tent and campfire romanticism food round the clock dining. And you can settle in the panel house.
In general, the soul sing, the people rejoice! But there it was … ship “Golden time” gave flow. “Do you remember how it all began …” I would like to remind you that it all started in the last century. Namely, in 1998 with a small concert in DC chernushinskom Oilers. Three years of going to a bunch of bards in the Perm region was still Mini festivalchik Palace of Culture. In 2002, like manna from heaven, Permian producer Oleg Novoselov and Author House created the “Neighborhood Forum” and took under the wing of a young festival. Chairman of the Organizing Committee festival at the time was Oleg Haraskin, then head Chernushinskogo area. Indifferent to the author’s song and he himself is not averse to occasionally pick up a guitar. At the height of “golden age” for her scene really masters have visited this genre: Andrew Kozlowski, the group “The Thorn Birds”, group “Grandmaster”, Perm author and performer Don Gregory and others a few days of the festival blended into an unbroken chain of experience.
