Business club for industrialists and merchants
Looking at the building of the Philharmonic, today it is already difficult to imagine that it was once built not only and not so much for symphonies and serenades, but for business negotiations and solid deals. After all, this building was originally conceived in 1913 as Business club for industrialists and merchants, but built according to the project of the architect Konstantin Babykin just in time for 1917. The club was notable for its Art Nouveau façade and urban design inside the club. concert hall. The internal work, unfinished due to revolutionary unrest, was resumed in 1920, and the club for visitors was opened only in October 1926. By that time, it was already a little tight with merchants and industrialists, so the club was taken over by Soviet engineering and technical workers and workers of the national economy.
In the first years of the existence of the Business Club, such celebrities as Sergey Lemeshev, Ivan Kozlovsky And Leonid Utyosov, spent their first seasons Theater young viewer And Musical comedy theater. The People's Commissar of Education delivered a report here Anatoly Lunacharsky(later, his article “City in the Woods” appeared in the regional newspaper with fresh impressions of the actively developing Sverdlovsk - among other things, it contained an enthusiastic review of the building of the Business Club) and read his poems Vladimir Mayakovsky. And in April 1934, the first concert of the symphony orchestra of the Radio Committee under the direction of Mark Powerman- It was on the basis of this orchestra that the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic was created two years later.
History of creation
State concert organization "Sverdlovsk regional philharmonic society"became the third philharmonic society that appeared in the country - after Moscow and Leningrad (and someone else doubts that we have always been the third capital!). Its first season was opened on September 29, 1936. Concert hall Sverdlovsk Philharmonic finally and irrevocably, from the first seasons he established himself as a leading concert hall city (the phrase "In Sverdlovsk performed for the first time" flashed in the programs symphony concerts with enviable regularity), remains so to this day. In 1973, the “king of instruments” appeared in the Philharmonic - a real German organ (since 2002, the organist is Taras Baginets), and in May 1998 the concert organization "Sverdlovsk State Philharmonic"was awarded the title of "Academic".

An excerpt characterizing the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic
If I understood correctly, this was exactly the one whom the North called the Wanderer. The one who watched...Both were dressed in white and red long clothes, girded with a thick, twisted, red cord. The world around this unusual couple swayed smoothly, changing its shape, as if they were sitting in some kind of closed oscillating space, accessible only to the two of them. The air around was fragrant and cool, it smelled of forest herbs, fir trees and raspberries... A light, occasionally running breeze gently caressed the juicy tall grass, leaving in it the smells of distant lilacs, fresh milk and cedar cones... The land here was so surprisingly safe , pure and kind, as if worldly anxieties did not touch her, human malice did not penetrate into her, as if a deceitful, changeable person did not set foot there ...
The two speakers got up and, smiling at each other, began to say goodbye. Svetodar was the first to speak.
– Thank you, Stranger... I bow to you. I can't go back, you know. I'm going home. But I have memorized your lessons and will pass them on to others. You will always live in my memory as well as in my heart. Goodbye.
- Go, in peace, the son of bright people - Svetodar. I'm glad I met you. And I am sad that I say goodbye to you ... I gave you everything that you were able to comprehend ... And what you are able to give to others. But this does not mean that people will want to accept what you want to tell them. Remember, knowing, a person is responsible for his choice. Not gods, not fate - only the man himself! And until he understands this, the Earth will not change, it will not get better... An easy way home for you, dedicated one. May your Faith protect you. And may our Family help you ...
The vision is gone. The surroundings were empty and lonely. As if the old warm sun quietly disappeared behind a black cloud...
- How much time has passed since the day Svetodar left home, Sever? I already thought that he was leaving for a long time, maybe even for the rest of his life? ..
– And he stayed there all his life, Isidora. For six long decades.
But he looks very young? So he also managed to live long without aging? Did he know the old secret? Or was it taught to him by the Stranger?
“That I cannot tell you, my friend, for I do not know. But I know something else - Svetodar did not have time to teach what the Stranger taught him for years - he was not allowed ... But he managed to see the continuation of his wonderful Family - a small great-great-grandson. Managed to call him by his real name. This gave Svetodar a rare opportunity - to die happy ... Sometimes even this is enough to make life not seem in vain, isn't it, Isidora?
- And again - fate chooses the best! .. Why did he have to study all his life? Why did he leave his wife and child, if everything turned out to be in vain? Or was there some great meaning which I still cannot comprehend, Sever?
“Do not kill yourself in vain, Isidora. You understand everything very well - look into yourself, because the answer is your whole life ... You are fighting, knowing full well that you will not be able to win - you will not be able to win. But how can you do otherwise?.. A person cannot, has no right to give up, admitting the possibility of losing. Even if it’s not you, but someone else who, after your death, will be ignited by your courage and courage, it’s not in vain. It's just that an earthly person has not yet matured to be able to comprehend such a thing. For most people, fighting is only interesting as long as they stay alive, but none of them are interested in what happens after. They still do not know how to "live for posterity", Isidora.
“It's sad, if you're right, my friend... But it won't change today. Therefore, returning to the old, can you say how Svetodar's life ended?
North smiled kindly.
– And you are also changing a lot, Isidora. Even in our last meeting, you would have rushed to assure me that I was wrong! .. You began to understand a lot, my friend. It's only a pity that you're leaving in vain... you can incomparably more!
The North was silent for a moment, but almost immediately continued.
- After long and hard years of lonely wanderings, Svetodar finally returned home, to his beloved Oksitania ... where sad, irreparable losses awaited him.
A long time ago, his sweet tender wife, Margarita, passed away, who did not wait for him to share their difficult life with him ... He also did not find the wonderful granddaughter Tara, who was given to them by their daughter Maria ... and great-granddaughter Maria, who died at the birth of his great-great-grandson, who was born just three years ago. Too much of his family was lost... Too heavy a burden crushed him, not allowing him to enjoy the rest of his life... Look at them, Isidora... They are worth knowing.
And again I appeared where long-dead people lived, who became dear to my heart... Bitterness wrapped my soul in a shroud of silence, not allowing me to communicate with them. I couldn't address them, I couldn't even tell how courageous and wonderful they were...
Occitania...
Three people were standing at the very top of a high stone mountain... One of them was Svetodar, he looked very sad. Nearby, leaning on his arm, stood a very beautiful young woman, and a little blond boy clung to her, clutching a huge armful of bright wildflowers to his chest.
- Whom did you get so much, Belayarushka? Svetodar asked kindly.
- Well, how?! .. - the boy was surprised, immediately dividing the bouquet into three even parts. - This is for mommy ... And this is for dear grandmother Tara, and this is for grandmother Maria. Isn't that right, grandpa?
Svetodar did not answer, only tightly pressed the boy to his chest. He was all he had left... this wonderful sweet baby. After the great-granddaughter Maria, who died during childbirth, whom Svetodar never saw, the baby had only Aunt Marsilla (standing next to them) and his father, whom Beloyar almost did not remember, since he fought somewhere all the time.
- Is it true that you will never leave now, grandfather? Is it true that you will stay with me and teach me? Aunt Marcilla says that now you will always live only with us. Is it true, grandpa?
The baby's eyes shone like bright stars. Apparently the appearance from somewhere so young and strong grandfather made the kid happy! Well, the “grandfather”, sadly hugging him, thought at that time about those whom he would never see again, even if he lived on Earth for even a hundred lonely years ...
“I’m not going anywhere, Belayarushka. Where can I go if you are here? .. We will always be together with you now, right? You and I are such a great power! .. Right?
The kid squealed with pleasure and clung to his newly-born grandfather, as if he could suddenly take and disappear, just as suddenly as he appeared.
“Are you really not going anywhere, Svetodar?” Marcilla asked softly.
Svetodar just shook his head sadly. And where was he to go, where to go?.. This was his land, his roots. Here lived and died everyone whom he loved, who was dear to him. And this is where he went HOME. In Montsegur he was incredibly welcome. True, there was not a single one of those who would remember him. But there were their children and grandchildren. There were his Cathars, whom he loved with all his heart and respected with all his soul.
The faith of Magdalene flourished in Occitania like never before, having long passed beyond its borders! This was the Golden Age of the Cathars. When their teachings rushed through the countries in a powerful, invincible wave, sweeping away any obstacles on their clean and right path. More and more newcomers joined them. And despite all the "black" attempts of the "holy" Catholic Church to destroy them, the teachings of Magdalene and Radomir captured all truly bright and courageous hearts, and all sharp minds open to new things. In the farthest corners of the earth, minstrels sang the marvelous songs of the Occitan troubadours, which opened the eyes and minds of the enlightened, but they amused the "ordinary" people with their romantic skill.
Occitania bloomed like a beautiful bright flower, absorbing the vitality of the bright Mary. It seemed that no force could resist this powerful flow of Knowledge and bright, universal Love. People still worshiped their Magdalene here, adoring her. As if she still lived in each of them ... She lived in every pebble, in every flower, every grain of this amazing, pure land ...
One day, walking through familiar caves, Svetodar came across a new one that shook him to the very depths of his soul... There, in a calm, quiet corner, stood his wonderful mother - beloved Mary Magdalene! .. It seemed that nature could not forget this marvelous, strong woman and in spite of everything, she created her image with her almighty, generous hand.
Mary's cave. In the very corner of the cave stands, created by nature, a tall statue of a beautiful woman,
wrapped very long hair. Local Cathars said that the statue appeared there immediately after
the death of Magdalene and after each fall of a new drop of water, it became more and more like her ...
This cave is now called the "cave of Mary". And everyone can see the Magdalene standing there.
Turning around, a little further away Svetodar saw another miracle - in the other corner of the cave stood a statue of his sister! She clearly resembled a curly-haired girl standing over something lying... (Vesta standing over her mother's body?..) Svetodar's hair began to stir!.. It seemed to him that he had begun to go crazy. Turning quickly, he ran out of the cave.
Statue of Vesta - Svetodar's sister. Occitania did not want to forget them...
And she created her own monument - drop by drop sculpting faces dear to her heart.
They stand there for centuries, and the water continues its magical work, making
they are getting closer and more and more similar to the real ones ...
Later, slightly moving away from the shock, Svetodar asked Marsila if she knew what he saw. And when he heard a positive answer, his soul literally “sobbed” with tears of happiness - in this land, indeed, his mother, Golden Mary, was still alive! The very land of Occitania recreated in itself this beautiful woman– she “revived” her Magdalene in stone... It was a real creation of love... Nature was only a loving architect.
Tears shone in my eyes... And I was absolutely not ashamed of it. I would give a lot to meet one of them alive! .. Especially Magdalene. What a marvelous ancient magic burned in the soul of this amazing woman when she created her magical kingdom?! A kingdom in which Knowledge and Understanding ruled, and whose backbone was Love. Only not the love about which the “holy” church screamed, having worn out this wondrous word to the point that I didn’t want to hear it any longer, but that beautiful and pure, real and courageous, unique and amazing LOVE, with the name of which powers were born ... and with the name of which the ancient warriors rushed into battle ... with the name of which the new life... by whose name our world changed and became better... This Love was carried by Golden Mary. And it is this Mary that I would like to bow to... For everything that she carried, for her pure bright LIFE, for her courage and courage, and for Love.
But, unfortunately, it was impossible to do this... She lived centuries ago. And I couldn't be the one who knew her. An incredibly deep, bright sadness suddenly overwhelmed me, and bitter tears poured down in a stream...
- What are you, my friend!.. Other sorrows await you! Sever exclaimed in surprise. - Please, calm down...
He gently touched my hand and gradually the sadness disappeared. Only bitterness remained, as if I had lost something bright and dear ...
– You mustn't relax... War awaits you, Isidora.
The Verdlovsk Philharmonic opened its first season on September 29, 1936. The Philharmonic Hall is an architectural monument with more than century history. “The Great Hall of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic is one of the most pleasant, excellent acoustic halls. It is a great happiness for us visitors and for the public to be here. Probably, the residents of Yekaterinburg are used to this hall, they think that this is the norm. I must say that this is really a rare hall, in Russia there are perhaps 3-4 such halls in the whole country, ”admits pianist Nikolai Lugansky.
Once Sergey Lemeshev, Ivan Kozlovsky, Leonid Utesov, Vladimir Mayakovsky performed here. Today, the Philharmonic's playbill contains the names of those who define the standard of the world performing arts.
