Almost two years ago, on December 1, 2016, Yevgeny Morozov, an honorary resident of Kamchatka, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, died…

Yevgeny Morozov is a wonderful musician, a wonderful conductor, a bright devotee of choral art on a peninsula located in the most remote eastern corner of our Motherland, which is truly considered the Morning of our Fatherland, where Russians wake up in the country first …

A sculptor of miracle voices, Evgeny Ivanovich Morozov was the founder and permanent artistic director of such a unique creative team as the Kamchatka Choir for almost five decades.

Thanks to the delightful, highly professional sound of the choral ensemble and the performing art of Merited Artist of the Russian Federation Valery Trofimovich Kravchenko, a constant accompanist of an outstanding team, the whole world learned about Kamchatka-Musical, enthusiastically and loudly applauding this remarkable team not only in Russian cities, but also in many countries different continents of the planet, where the Kamchatka Choir has been on tour. Proud and fond of Morozov’s offspring and his own Kamchatka audience, he is always eagerly awaiting the artists in their songs from distant concert tours.

I am grateful to fate because I knew Yevgeny Ivanovich, we talked together, because I was his work colleague in the Kamchatka regional music college, sometimes took part in the same concert programs, sang on the same Kamchatka scenes, where the voices of the Kamchatka choir sounded under the magic wand of Evgeny Morozov.

Invaluable assistance in my development, as a singer, in mastering vocal skills for me there were master classes, vocal consultations with Yevgeny Ivanovich Morozov and the chief choirmaster, as well as the soloist of the Kamchatka choir (now named after Yevgeny Morozov), Honored cultural worker of the Russian Federation Violetta Alekseevna Butuchel, for which my immense gratitude.

I remembered Evgeny Ivanovich as a man of unshakable will, a bright leader and, at the same time, an incredibly charming, smiling, with sparkling eyes, boyishly gambling, enthusiastically and mischievously rubbing his hands, sometimes with a tuning fork in one of them, always humming something … I remembered him as a tireless mentor of talented Kamchatka youth.

Evgeny Morozov is by far the largest phenomenon of our time, a man who made an invaluable contribution to the treasury of the musical art of Kamchatka and Russia as a whole, singing reverent musical creativity of the indigenous peoples and ethnic groups of the peninsula and the Far North, as well as turning to world masterpieces of musical classics.
