Sergey Berinsky’s “creative workshop” in the context of cultural dialogue of the late 20th - early 21st century

The author of the article makes an attempt to highlight the activities of the Creative Workshop association, created in the 90s of the 20th century by the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Sergei Samuilovich Berinsky within the framework of the All Union Seminar of Young Composers, held annually at the House of Creativity in Ivanovo. In the process of cultural analysis of the features of seminar classes and concerts of the “Creative Workshop” festival, the author comes to the conclusion about the special concept of musical creativity as a meaning forming phenomenon, taught by S. Berinsky to his students, as well as the formation of a multifaceted education system that expands the scope of creative activity of seminar students. The author of the article focuses on the vocal creativity of seminarian composers. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the premiere of the opera “Ereekhen” by the Buryat composer Bair Dondokov, one of the participants in Sergei Berinsky’s seminar, as a vivid example of following the traditions of the “Creative Workshop”.
