Hollywood Christmas

Hollywood Christmas Step into a dazzling pre‑New Year's Eve spectacle where the concert hall morphs into a grand cinema and legendary Hollywood scenes come alive on the stage. Join the stars of Russian jazz—Anastasia Lyutova and the Lyuty Band—as they infuse the evening with jazz renditions of timeless film soundtracks, including “Some Like It Hot,” “Sun Valley Serenade,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “The Pink Panther,” “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Days of Wine and Roses,” “The Sound of Music,” and many more. Experience original versions of classic Christmas compositions specially curated for the holiday season, all performed with a festive jazz flair that guarantees an unforgettable Hollywood atmosphere. Anastasia Lyutova, a Gnessin Russian Academy of Music graduate, acclaimed bandleader, and award‑winning arranger, has been honored by JAZZ 98.1 FM with titles such as “Discovery of the Year,” “Release of the Year,” and “Musician of the Year.” Described by critics as a modern, original jazz vocalist with a memorable timbre and deep understanding of jazz canon, she broke new ground in 2019 with her debut album “Some Like It Jazz” on Venus Records in Japan—making her the first Russian jazz artist featured on the label and the first to appear on the cover of Jazz Perspective. Her 2023 release, “Jazzville,” on the Russian label Butman Music, showcases joyful compositions from the 1950s and 1960s, cementing her and the Lyuty Band’s position at the forefront of contemporary jazz.
