Zakharchenko Kuban choir biography. Viktor Gavrilovich Zakharchenko: interview. Listening to the anthem performed by the Kuban Cossack choir

Viktor Zakharchenko has been celebrating his birthday on stage for several decades in a row. Well, Viktor Gavrilovich is not used to blowing out candles in a close family circle. And today, on his anniversary - Viktor Zakharchenko turned 80 on March 22, the legend of the Kuban Cossack Choir will come out to the public. Concerts of the famous choir begin in Krasnodar.

On the anniversary of Viktor Zakharchenko, Komsomolskaya Pravda gathered five little known facts from the biography of the artistic director of the Kuban Cossack Choir.

Zakharchenko defended his team

The history of the legendary choir begins in 1811. This is the oldest and only folk group in our country, whose history has not been interrupted since early XIX century. Viktor Zakharchenko has been directing the Kuban Cossack Choir for 44 years. When he took the helm, he was 36 years old.

To get to the first All-Russian Russian show-competition folk choirs, which took place in Moscow in 1975, Viktor Gavrilovich deceived the party leadership. Unheard of audacity at that time! Before the concert itself in Moscow, all the groups at that time showed their performances to a special commission. And since at that time it was impossible to perform without promoting Soviet ideology, the artistic director of the choir included works about Lenin in the program. Party officials approved the repertoire. And already in Moscow, on stage, Zakharchenko showed completely different songs - Cossack songs. And although the jury was shocked, the Kuban artists were still given first place. And that performance was called “revolutionary.”

They wanted to open a music hall on the basis of the Kuban Cossack Choir

At the time when Viktor Zakharchenko came to the Kuban Cossack Choir, the fate of the folk group hung in the balance. Krasnodar Philharmonic was going to reform the team. Each concert of the choir cost the budget a tidy sum, so they decided to reduce the staff and rename the choir - to make an ensemble out of it. But Viktor Gavrilovich did not give it. He traveled to the villages and villages of Kuban, recorded more than a thousand folk songs, which the artists began to perform under the leadership of the new artistic director. Zakharchenko, who himself was born and lived in the Kuban village, had heard Cossack songs since childhood, he knew how the village lived, what kind of music the villagers needed.

Our artists have turned into mannequins: the women are all in the same dresses, with the same pink faces and fake smiles. These sedate babes - swans in sparkles - float across the stage, a sort of leafy chastity floats across the stage. Is this how she is in real life, a Russian woman! You can't recognize her - she's been so candied! And the men... faceless, expressionless, all as one in satin shirts, belted with sashes, - Viktor Zakharchenko said then and “broke” and remade the choir. Today the Kuban team is a pearl folk art Russia.

Begins every rehearsal with prayer

Its artists artistic director calls children, and the building in which the folk group is located is “the house of the Cossack choir.” And for 44 years in a row, the artists begin each rehearsal with prayer.


Yes, but where else to start? - Viktor Zakharchenko smiles, adding, - we are all one big family, believers love. And how to sing spiritual songs without faith?

The artists read the “Our Father” and ask God to protect them from troubles and help them achieve them.

Started walking with a cane after the accident

Viktor Zakharchenko has been walking with a cane for 22 years. Problems with the knee occurred after an accident in which the artistic director of the Kuban Cossack Choir got into it.

Until he lost consciousness, he asked the Almighty for mercy,” Viktor Gavrilovich told Komsomolskaya Pravda. - And already in the hospital, when I began to come to my senses, I heard a chant. I thought that I was in a church and with a dull look began to look for icons on the walls. I only met my daughter’s tear-stained gaze and asked where the holy images were and what happened? She couldn't explain what was wrong. Then I realized that together with the priest they were reading a prayer for health. Later, I discovered that I couldn’t feel one leg and it was folded and pressed tightly against the other. Then I had to undergo the most unpleasant procedure of introducing oxygen into my knee. I kept praying to God for help. Now I know for sure that such trials were sent to me for a reason. As you can see, now I’m on my feet and even doing sports. I have the strength to lead a choir.


Despite his serious injury, Viktor Zakharchenko works out with a trainer and can run 4 kilometers. And he even ran with a torch during the Olympic torch relay in Krasnodar in 2014.

“The choir will live both with me and without me, because God is with us”

Five years ago, on his 75th birthday, in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, Viktor Zakharchenko admitted:

I read that a person has an average of eighty years to live. And I understand that there is little time left, but I can say with confidence that the choir will live both with me and without me, because God is with us!

Victor Gavrilovich, may the choir live long with you!

On the initiative of Viktor Gavrilovich, the Kuban Center was opened in Krasnodar, and at the Institute of Culture - a department of folklore and ethnography, folk culture.

Patriotic pathos, a sense of belonging to the people's life, civic responsibility for the fate of the country - this is the main line of Viktor Zakharchenko's composing work. He subtly and deeply feels the folklore fabric: timbres, colors, interweaving of sounds. He feels with his heart and nerve musical dramaturgy each concert, its philosophical fullness, rigor and sophistication. His songs are

musical dedications to the brilliant Russian composer Georgy Sviridov, the outstanding Russian conductor Vladimir Minin, the “singer of Russian birches” Grigory Ponomarenko...

For Viktor Gavrilovich, the word, idea and content are very important in a song. IN recent years he expanded his musical and thematic range, ideological orientation creativity. The lines of poems by Pushkin, Nekrasov, Lermontov, Yesenin, Blok, Rubtsov sounded differently. Framework traditional song have become cramped, confessional ballads, reflective poems, and revelation songs are being created. This is how the songs “I will ride” (to the verses of N. Rubtsov), “The Power of the Russian Spirit” (to the verses of G. Golovaty), and editions of the poem “Rus” (to the verses of I. Nikitin) appeared.

The titles of Zakharchenko’s works speak for themselves - “Alarm” (to the verses of V. Latynin), “You can’t understand Russia with your mind” (to the verses of F. Tyutchev), “Help the one who is weaker” (to the verses of N. Kartashov).

Zakharchenko the folklorist restored 14 collections of songs of the Kuban Cossacks, which had almost disappeared from the field of view of musical science and artistic creativity. Bigdaya, republished by him in his own creative edition, from the standpoint of modern folkloristics. Essentially, the first, but most difficult and important steps on the way to creating an anthology of Kuban folklore songs. Zakharchenko conductor Cossack choir

Viktor Zakharchenko developed and implemented the concept of the Kuban Folk Culture Center created in 1990, later renamed the State Scientific and Creative Institution (SSTU) "Kuban Cossack Choir", which currently employs 506 people, including State Kuban Cossack Choir 120 people. This is so far the only cultural institution in the country that is so systematically, comprehensively and promisingly engaged in the revival of traditional folk culture. Since 1998, the State National Technical University has intensified the organization of numerous festivals, international scientific conferences and readings, the publication of studies on the history and culture of the Cossacks, the release of CDs, audio and video cassettes, and intensive concert and musical educational activities in Russia and abroad.

Viktor Gavrilovich Zakharchenko - professor, dean of the Faculty of Traditional Culture of Krasnodar state university culture and art. He conducts extensive research activities and has collected over 30 thousand songs and traditional rituals - historical heritage Kuban villages; collections of songs of the Kuban Cossacks were published; Hundreds of arrangements of folk songs have been recorded on records, CDs, and films.

With all its activities, the State Academic Kuban Cossack Choir, under the leadership of Viktor Gavrilovich Zakharchenko, contributes to the revival and development of the rich cultural heritage our ancestors, spiritual and patriotic education youth.

The soul of a people lives in its songs. From the distant past, from our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, they brought to us what the people lived and believed in; conveyed his worries and joys, dreams and ideals. On weekdays and holidays, in happiness and misfortune, the song is always next to the Cossack farmer and warrior, defender of the Fatherland. The song is a connection with the Motherland: with that land that is abundantly watered with the sweat and blood of our ancestors and on which we had the good fortune to be born; with those people who are nearby, and with those who have long left us, but live and will live with us through their glorious deeds, thoughts, and heartfelt feelings.
