Svetlana bezrodnaya and the Vivaldi orchestra. Svetlana Bezrodnaya and her Vivaldi chamber orchestra Family and childhood in a creative environment
Svetlana Borisovna Bezrodnaya (Levina) is a Soviet and Russian violinist, founder and artistic director of the Vivaldi Orchestra. She has the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR and People's Artist of Russia.
The woman is one of the few in the world who managed to take the post of conductor. During her life, the artist collaborated with such famous musicians as Y. Milkis, V. Tretyakov, Y. Bashmet and N. Petrov. She was born on February 12, 1934 in the Barvikha sanatorium. The future violinist spent her childhood there.
Family and childhood in a creative environment
The girl’s father was the personal doctor of Stalin and his party, Boris Solomonovich Levin. He had not only medical, but also musical education. Levin graduated from the conservatory in violin class. Despite his outstanding abilities, he decided to become a doctor.
The mother of the future violinist, Irina Mikhailovna Shepshelevich-Lobovskaya, also had a direct connection to creativity: she was a singer. She also studied social activities. Due to extreme stress after the death of her relatives, Irina lost her voice, and shortly after this they met Boris.
The family lived on the territory of the Kremlin, their neighbors were senior officials. Parents were friends with prominent figures cultures, including Chukovsky, Kozlovsky, Ilyinsky and others. Sveta's childhood passed in a friendly, creative atmosphere. Her parents did not refuse her anything; the girl did not have any serious problems. Thanks to her natural charm, people always met the future artist halfway; there was practically no turning points.
Learning and success in music
The girl graduated from the Central Music School, which was located at the Moscow Conservatory. After graduation, Svetlana entered the conservatory. Her teachers were I.S. Bezrodny and A.I. Yampolsky. The first of them later became the violinist’s husband. Even in her student years, the artist performed as part of a women's quartet, which was later named after S. Prokofiev.
After graduating from higher education educational institution, Levina received an offer to become a soloist of Mosconcert. She actively traveled around the country with concerts, and after a while the girl decided to take up teaching. This decision was influenced by the presence of a child; it was too difficult to combine touring and caring for little Seryozha.
Bezrodnaya taught at the Central Music School for more than 20 years, thanks to her many students achieved success in playing the violin and even became laureates international competitions. The artist developed a unique school of play: she never showed students how to do it, she only explained it in words. Within the walls of the music school, Svetlana founded a violin ensemble; they also toured throughout the country and abroad.
Creation of an orchestra
Svetlana Borisovna read a lot about Antonio Vivaldi’s orchestra, which was located at the monastery in Venice. She even had an engraving depicting the girls who were part of this group. That is why the woman decided to create her own version of the orchestra, gathering talented students from all over the country. At that time, such groups consisted exclusively of men, so most of the girls had no experience. But Bezrodnaya did not pay attention to this; talent and incredible love for music were important to her.
The woman helped her husband Vladimir Spivakov when he was selecting musicians for the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra. She controlled many processes and even personally glued notes for violinists, so she had some experience in this area. From February 9 to February 20, 1989, Svetlana managed to assemble the first composition of the Vivaldi Orchestra. It included eighteen girls, all of them were graduates of the Moscow Conservatory. Bezrodnaya became a soloist.
Already on May 5, 1989, the entire ensemble performed on the stage of the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions. After 5 years, the orchestra received the title of academic. Women have confidently occupied their niche in world culture; today there are no analogues of the Vivaldi Orchestra. Each of their performances is a performance; the musicians constantly try to surprise the audience by developing new programs and interpreting classical works.
Personal life
At the age of 16, Svetlana married her teacher Igor Bezrodny. From him she gave birth to her son Sergei. Now he is a famous pianist, a soloist in two orchestras under the direction of Vladimir Spivakov, Svetlana’s second husband. She divorced Igor after 18 years of marriage.
The violinist’s third husband, Cherny Rostislav Borisovich, was an international journalist. For more than 30 years he wrote for the newspaper “Soviet Culture” and headed the foreign department. After his marriage to Bezrodnaya, Rostislav became the producer of the Vivaldi Orchestra.
Now Svetlana Borisovna continues to tour with her band. For her services, she received the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR in 1991, and in 1996 she was recognized as People's Artist of Russia. In 2008, the woman became a laureate of the National Russian Ovation Award in the Classical Music category.
The Vivaldi Orchestra is a group that is the only one of its kind on the Russian stage: its members include only
representatives of the fair sex. S. Bezrodnaya does not hide the fact that both the composition and the name of the orchestra were inspired by the life and work of the great Antonio Vivaldi. “Vivaldi Orchestra” is a kind of “remake” of the women’s orchestra created by Vivaldi at the monastery of San Pieta in Venice at the beginning of the 18th century.
One of the most important principles of S. Bezrodnaya’s work with the ensemble was the system of individual lessons with orchestra members, developed by her during her years of teaching at the Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory, thanks to which each performer maintains a high professional level.
The orchestra was created in 1989 by the famous violinist and teacher Svetlana Bezrodnaya. The first performance of the group took place on May 5, 1989 on the stage of the Column Hall of the House of Unions.
Five years later, in 1994, the Vivaldi Orchestra was awarded the title “academic”
and two years later, its creator Svetlana Bezrodnaya received the title “People’s Artist of Russia.”
Svetlana Bezrodnaya did an unheard of thing - against the backdrop of the existing “Moscow Virtuosi”
V. Spivakov and “Moscow Soloists” Yu. Bashmet created a new orchestra, starting to collect female graduates
conservatories that have not yet had work experience. The Vivaldi Orchestra is a unique phenomenon.
There is nothing like it in any other part of the world.
Svetlana Borisovna Bezrodnaya is a unique woman herself.
"At fifty years old she began new life. And she created the Vivaldi Orchestra, which was a success
tours all over the world. What made her start from scratch?
-Do you know what actually reveals a woman? - Bezrodnaya begins her lecture
tone. - You know, well?...
Failures make a woman! When you often face the table...
“I was very belittled,” he says. - No, of course, they valued her as a woman.
Including the ability to cook and come up with unique recipes.
In the previous family life I alone made tables for forty people! - She means those seven years
that she was with Vladimir Spivakov.
- But in all other respects the attitude was this: we are the great ones, we are very comfortable with you,
so stay close and don’t rock the boat. I didn’t exist as a person..."
She refers these words to her first, as she now calls it, her frenzied marriage.
She was sixteen, she had not yet finished school, when violin teacher Igor
Bezrodny took her away from home. As a result, I received my diploma after giving birth to a child. Her son Sergei from her first marriage is now in Spivakov’s orchestra.
“It was a golden cage,” she notes. Although this marriage took eighteen years.
Life with Spivakov, she insists, “was also a cage.”
- Everything was just for him. But to him, like Sati, who later became his wife, I am only grateful.
I made a career! Because at one point in life there came a period of loneliness. Everyone left me, everyone left me, the phone was silent for days. And by that time I had not picked up a violin for twenty years.
But apparently the reins that held me for a long time, after my release, had such an effect that I became
like a broken trotter. The energy has accumulated so much that now I can’t stop.”
She not only created the now famous orchestra, becoming its conductor, but also arranged her personal life,
happily married.
Leading the Vivaldi Orchestra for almost two decades,
Bezrodnaya is in constant creative search, thanks to which
The orchestra performs a unique repertoire: more than 500 works
composers different countries and eras, starting from the early Baroque (A.
Scarlatti, L. Boccherini) and ending with avant-garde music (B. Britten, B.
Bartok, A. Schnittke, A. Copland). A special place belongs to the works of A.
Vivaldi, W. Mozart, P. Tchaikovsky, D. Shostakovich.

Svetlana Bezrodnaya is a legendary personality, People's Artist of Russia, musician and conductor. She broke all stereotypes and became the only artistic director of the academic Vivaldi Orchestra, in which only women participate.
Biography
According to sources, our heroine was born February 12, 1934 in the very famous place- sanatorium "Barvikha". According to the horoscope, Aquarius is a charming, elegant and surprisingly graceful woman.
She lived with her parents in a mansion, which they shared in half with the director of the sanatorium. Svetlana - daughter personal doctor Stalin and the head physician of the Barvikha sanatorium. But at one fine moment he suddenly turned into an enemy of the people.
In young age
When she was still little, her father, Boris Levin, was arrested and the girl did not see him for many years. Rumor has it that he was accused of allegedly planning to poison Comrade Stalin (during the search they found a bottle of poison). Only after the death of the leader, the family was reunited again.
The girl’s mother, Irina Shepshelevich-Lobovskaya, studied at the conservatory and was an opera singer. But she lost her voice when she found out that her entire family had been shot. A street in Kharkov was even named after Svetlana’s grandfather.
Early life and education
Svetlana spent her entire childhood in a closed area from ordinary people. She had no friends, but she got along well with the stoker’s children. After her father’s arrest, life became very difficult for Sveta and her mother. They didn’t want to hire my mother anywhere and they had to starve for long periods of time. In one of her interviews, Bezrodnaya recalls that as a child she ate very little and therefore it was easy for her to go through periods when there was nothing to eat in the house.
The girl grew up in a creative atmosphere from childhood. All the famous people who vacationed in the sanatorium visited her house. She grew up in the arms of such famous people like: Chukovsky, Kachalov, etc. At the age of six the girl went studies at the Central Music School, and then Graduated from the Moscow Conservatory itself in violin class.
At the same time, the girl also practiced gymnastics (beam and rings) and even received the title of Master of Sports at the age of 13. But I had to give up the sport because a terrible scandal broke out. And all because she is a girl, and when she holds the violin, her hands are too pumped up, masculine and ugly.
Career
After graduation, Bezrodnaya becomes soloist of the Mosconcert". At the same time, she works as a teacher at the Central Music School and teaches children to play the violin. Over 20 years of work, the woman managed to create her own unique playing method. She also selected her best students and created an ensemble of violinists. They toured extensively throughout the country and abroad, and also achieved huge success.
At the end of the 80s, Bezrodnaya created another unusual group. She sees how difficult it is for women to get into the ensemble and decides to protest by creating an all-female Vivaldi Orchestra. In this group, Svetlana becomes a soloist and leader.
Personal life
According to sources, there were many suitors in the life of the People's Artist of Russia, but the most important are three men. First, she tied the knot when she was a very young girl, with the famous violinist and her teacher Igor Bezrodny. Although Svetlana calls her first marriage too frivolous, the couple lived together for 18 years and then divorced. From her first marriage, Svetlana has a son, Sergei, and a surname, thanks to which she became famous. Today Sergei is a famous pianist, as well as a soloist of the Moscow Virtuosi orchestra.

Marriage with Rostislav Cherny Bezrodnaya has the longest. In 2017 they are fromcelebrated silver wedding- 25 years of married life together. Rostislav is an international journalist and also a producer. He is several years younger than Svetlana.
In one of her interviews, the artist admits that at the first meeting, Rostislav did not create any impression on her. But his persistence and desire to get to know Svetlana better led to marriage and the realization that they had both found a soul mate in this world.
The artist together with Rostislav Cherny
Svetlana Borisovna Bezrodnaya was born in 1934 in the Moscow region, in the Kremlin sanatorium Barvikha. Mother - Shepshelevich-Lobovska Irina Mikhailovna. Father - Levin Boris Solomonovich.
Svetlana studied at the Central Music School in Moscow. Her teachers at the music school were her future husband, the outstanding violinist Igor Semenovich Bezrodny, as well as professor Abram Ilyich Yampolsky. Svetlana took a piano class with the wonderful teacher Olga Aleksandrovna Golubeva, so her level of proficiency in the instrument was equal to the knowledge of those graduates who graduated from school in this specialty.
Mastering two instruments, Svetlana entered the Moscow Conservatory. She was lucky enough to study in the classes of outstanding teachers and professors - A. Yampolsky and D. Tsyganov. Big influence Her work was influenced by Dmitry Mikhailovich Tsyganov, who performed the first violin parts in the Beethoven Quartet, and Vasily Petrovich Shirinsky, with whom Svetlana studied in the quartet class, played the second violin parts.
Already since student years Bezrodnaya was part of the country's first women's quartet, later named after S. Prokofiev. After graduating from the conservatory, she gives a lot of concerts (without having a laureate title) and becomes a soloist at Rosconcert.
Svetlana got married early, and she and Igor Semenovich Bezrodny had a son, Sergei.

Sergei studied at the same music school from which Bezrodnaya herself graduated. Sergei discovered fantastic abilities early on: he became a concert musician very early on, playing technically complex works by composers of different eras and movements. 
Sergei Bezrodny
After some time, Svetlana Borisovna completely changed her life, in which another talented person appeared - Vladimir Spivakov. He became her husband.
After short period Concerting Svetlana Borisovna decided to take up teaching. The years of work at the Central Music School turned out to be fruitful for Bezrodnaya the teacher: she created an original system of playing the violin, thanks to which many of the students in her class became winners of a number of international competitions - named after Tchaikovsky in Moscow, named after Wieniawsky, named after Paganini. Within the walls of the Central Music School S.B. Bezrodnaya formed an ensemble of violinists of her class, which toured extensively throughout the country and abroad. 
In 1989, Svetlana Bezrodnaya returned to the stage: she created a unique group - the Vivaldi Orchestra, which is distinguished by its individual, unsurpassed style.
It was not difficult for Svetlana Borisovna to create her own group, since together with V. Spivakov she went through the formation of the “Moscow Virtuosi” orchestra, with her own hands she glued the notes that made up the library of musicians. The only difficulty was that the new ensemble had to consist entirely of women, and traditionally in conservatories the core of the orchestra has always been men.
But Svetlana Bezrodnaya did an unheard of thing - against the background of the existing “Moscow Virtuosi” V. Spivakov and “Moscow Soloists” Yu. Bashmet, she created a new orchestra, starting to gather girls - graduates of the conservatory who did not yet have work experience. But Svetlana Borisovna assembled the first lineup, and on May 5, 1989, the orchestra first appeared on the stage of the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions. 
The Vivaldi Orchestra is a unique phenomenon. Just 5 years after its creation, the orchestra received the title “academic”. Perhaps the most important principle of a leader’s work is the system of individual lessons with orchestra members, developed by S. Bezrodnaya back at the Central Music School, thanks to which each musician of the ensemble is at a high professional level.
A variety of programs, absent in the repertoires of other groups, allowed Svetlana Bezrodnaya and her orchestra to occupy a special niche in musical domestic and world culture.
One of the results of the constant artistic search of the leader of the Vivaldi Orchestra was the participation of the group in numerous music festivals and special concert programs ah, representing a synthesis of classical and jazz music, opera and ballet, and the spoken genre. Suffice it to recall the festivals in honor of Vladimir Vasiliev, Igor Moiseev, the program dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Victory (for which the orchestra was awarded the Gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation), performances on the stage of the Rossiya Concert Hall - “Vivaldi Tango, or the Game of All-In,” Lights big city", "Marlene. Failed meetings" that became real breakthroughs.
S. Bezrodnaya, together with the orchestra, constantly performs in the most prestigious halls of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities of Russia and the CIS countries. Tours abroad a lot - the orchestra has visited the USA, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Finland, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Turkey, performs in the most prestigious halls, such as Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center in New York, the Vienna Opera or the famous Music Center in Hong Kong. He consistently receives rave reviews from the press in the most popular publications. Over the 15 years of operation, the orchestra gave about 2,000 concerts. Svetlana Bezrodnaya's partners were such famous musicians as V. Tretyakov, Y. Bashmet, V. Feigin, N. Petrov, I. Oistrakh, M. Yashvili, Y. Milkis.
One of the new directions in Svetlana Borisovna’s activity was the development of a huge layer of world musical culture, often called “light dance music”. We are talking about hits from the 1920s to the 1950s from leading foreign and domestic dance orchestras. Here, Bezrodnaya’s main merit is that the music of those distant years is performed authentically, the “Vivaldi Orchestra” reproduces to the smallest nuances the manner of famous world groups.
In connection with this, it was born unique program Russian tango of the 1930s-1940s. Based on this material, Vladimir Molchanov created the film “Champagne Splashes”. This topic is close to every cultured person who should know his history and not forget the outstanding people who contributed to the development of art. The revival of tango and Russian romance is also the revival of an amazing time, which showed the diversity of the incredible layer of culture that developed thanks to Glinka’s work. During concerts in the Philharmonic hall, people dance with great enthusiasm; in addition to the string composition, there is an accordion, drums, and piano... The orchestra also plays real classical jazz, which is traditionally performed by wind instruments, not string instruments.
Svetlana Borisovna cannot live without discoveries and always presents programs that seem to have been known to the public for a long time in a special light. He also cannot live without revealing young talents to the public. She wants to prove to her listeners that they always have something to be surprised at at the concerts of the Vivaldi Orchestra. Bezrodnaya’s programs, as a rule, are theatrical, never repeat each other, and are distinguished by the originality of their compositional structure and the careful thought out of the internal dramaturgy of the works included in the repertoire of a particular performance. In 2005, the Svetlana Bezrodnaya Theater acquired legal status, the Svetlana Bezrodnaya Music Theater.

The phonographic heritage of Bezrodnaya and her orchestra is significant - 22 discs were recorded, including a special 4-disc album dedicated to P.I. Tchaikovsky and dedicated to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg (in May 2003, the ensemble took part in the celebrations of the 300th anniversary of this city), as well as 4 discs dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the Victory, with songs from the war years. For this glorious anniversary, based on the idea of Svetlana Bezrodnaya and her husband Rostislav Cherny, the outstanding Russian dancer and choreographer Vladimir Vasiliev created the play “Songs of the Unconquered Power” - the first event of the newly created Music Theater. It was shown on the stage of the Hall named after P.I. Tchaikovsky on May 2, 2005 - the day of the capture of Berlin.
For services in the field of musical art S.B. Bezrodnaya was awarded the honorary titles “Honored Artist of Russia” (1991) and “People’s Artist of Russia” (1996). 
Spouse - Cherny Rostislav Borisovich, international journalist, worked for 30 years in the newspaper "Soviet Culture" - "Culture", where for many years he headed the foreign department; now producer of the Vivaldi Orchestra.

The Vivaldi Orchestra was created in 1989 by the famous violinist and teacher Svetlana Bezrodnaya. The group's first performance took place on May 5, 1989 on the stage of the Column Hall of the House of Unions. Five years later, in 1994, the Vivaldi Orchestra was awarded the title “academic”, and two years later its creator Svetlana Bezrodnaya was awarded the title “People’s Artist of Russia”.
“Vivaldi Orchestra” is a group that is the only one of its kind on the Russian stage: it consists of only representatives of the fair sex. S. Bezrodnaya does not hide the fact that both the composition and the name of the orchestra were inspired by the work of the great Antonio Vivaldi. “Vivaldi Orchestra” is a kind of “remake” of the women’s orchestra created by Vivaldi at the monastery of San Pieta in Venice at the beginning of the 18th century. One of the most important principles of S. Bezrodnaya’s work with the ensemble was the system of individual lessons with orchestra members, developed by her during her years of teaching at the Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory, thanks to which each performer maintains a high professional level.
For almost 27 years, the orchestra has given more than 2,000 concerts and prepared more than 100 exclusive programs. The group's repertoire includes more than 1000 works of a wide variety of genres, eras and styles: from early baroque (A. Scarlatti, A. Corelli) to music of the twentieth century and modern authors. Among them are numerous miniatures and such large-scale canvases as “Phaedra” by Britten and “Carmen Suite” by Bizet-Shchedrin, “Memory of Florence” and Serenade for string orchestra by Tchaikovsky, “The Seasons” by Vivaldi and his little-known works - psalms , cantatas... The experiments in performing masterpieces of the opera and ballet theater in transcriptions for string orchestra (the ballet “Don Juan” by Gluck, “The Magic Flute” and “Don Giovanni” by Mozart, “Eugene Onegin”, “The Queen of Spades” and all) turned out to be extremely successful ballets by Tchaikovsky, La Traviata by Verdi).
The concert programs of the Vivaldi Orchestra are, as a rule, theatrical, never repeat each other, and are distinguished by the originality of their compositional structure and carefully thought-out internal dramaturgy. It is thanks to this that S. Bezrodnaya’s orchestra managed to occupy its special niche on the domestic concert stage. The orchestra's subscriptions have held first positions in the sales rankings for many years, and concerts are always sold out.
One of the important activities of the Vivaldi Orchestra was the development of a huge layer of world musical culture, often referred to as “light music”. We are talking about hits from the 1920s to the 1950s from the repertoire of dance orchestras of those years, operetta and jazz, urban romance and mass songs. The result of S. Bezrodnaya’s constant artistic quest were numerous programs of the Vivaldi Orchestra, which are a synthesis of classical and jazz music, opera and ballet, and the spoken genre. Among them are the musical performances “Vivaldi Tango, or the Game of All-In,” “City Lights,” “Marlene. Failed meetings", "Evenings near Moscow" (on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of V.P.

The performance, which absorbed the best of Soviet song classics, took place on May 2, 2005 on the stage of the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and became the premiere of the “Svetlana Bezrodnaya Music Theater” formed the day before.
