The Triumph of Jazz is one of the largest and most successful world—class Russian festivals, founded by People’s Artist of Russia Igor Butman in 2001. In March 2025, the Festival will celebrate its 25th anniversary! On March 14, 15 and 16, Igor Butman will present new projects with the Moscow Jazz Orchestra and Viktor Dobronravov, a Quartet and a Trio at the Svetlanovsky Hall of the International House of Music, as well as outstanding musicians from all over the world: Roberto Fonseca (Cuba), Alex Khan, Richie Goodes and the Oleg Butman Trio (USA/Russia), Sergey Mazaev and his Queentet, Varvara Ubel, Fantine and others.
The festival program will open on March 14 with a performance by the Igor Butman and Fantine Quartet with a new program that will combine Brazilian bossa nova and samba rhythms. The real sensation of the evening will be the jazz performance “Peter and the Wolf” performed by Viktor Dobronravov and Igor Butman, accompanied by the Moscow Jazz Orchestra. A new reading of everyone’s favorite fairy tale will make it possible to understand how boundless Sergei Prokofiev’s music is.
