5 Jahre DOM5 Jahre DOM


Dror Feiler: Life is brutal and sentimental.

For 5 years, from 2000 to spring 2004, Nick Dmitriev produced the program of the Moskow' Culture CentreDOM, to which founders he belonged.

Many hundred concerts, performances, installations and exhibitions - a program which you will not find a second time.

From all over the world, artists came to perform, the russian musicians from contempory New Music as well as Improvised Music had their home here and the members of the russian Jazz Diaspora came along when they visited home.

Moscow was rich to have this place. Now the DOM must find his new way, build a jury to continue, what Nick began.

He had prepared a book, dedicated to the 5 year jubilee of DOM, in which he presented most of all artists, with dates of their performances, and which was completed by a CD with 99 takes of these artists. This book now is part of his legacy.
