 A collaborative musical project, ‘Musette Squared’, spent the month of August in intensive work. In the beginning of the month the project participants took part in the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city of Omsk, performing at numerous concert venues in the city. In parallel, preparations were made for the concert tour to the Baltic States. On August 18th in the Theatre of the city of Daugavpils, Latvia, there was held a big solo concert of the group within the framework of the international festival ‘Musical August in Daugavpils 2016’. On August 23rd, a concert was held in the Concert hall of ‘Gariunai Business Park’, Vilnius, Lithuania. Both concerts were a great success, crowded to overflowing concert halls, with several encores and very enthusiastic audiences. ‘Musette Squared’ consists of musicians from two bands, the soloists of St. Petersburg Musette Ensemble, Svetlana Stavitskaya and Vladimir Ushakov, and participants of the Omsk chamber ensemble ‘Musette’. The ‘Musette Squared’ ensemble consists of a Quartet of accordions accompanied by the rhythm section (piano/keyboard, bass guitar and drums), and songstress and compere. For the first time they performed together in 2012 in Omsk, after which the concerts of ‘Musette Squared’ took place in Omsk and in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg and the region, and now in the Baltic States. The repertoire performed at the concerts was diverse, from ‘Little Night Serenade’ by W.A. Mozart (jazz arrangement by C. Bolling) to ‘In the Mood’ by J. Garland, from ‘Fuga y Misterio’ by A. Piazzolla to ‘La Cumparsita’ by G. M. Rodriguez (arranged by V. Vlasov), several songs including ‘Un Gamin de Paris’ by J. Mares/P. Michey, ‘Fever’ by O. Blackwell (J. Davenport)/E.
