Eugene Southern Biography

St. Petersburg “The mission of every person on earth is to leave a bright mark” Evgeny Yuzhin is a famous opera singer and performer of romances, laureate of dozens of Russian and international competitions. Eugene gives joy to people throughout Russia with his concerts: it is difficult to name such a city where the artist has not yet performed. For the warm manner of performance and cheerful energy, Eugene is often called “Mr.

Positive”. There he took the first steps in music and achieved his first success. Eugene recalls his hometown with warmth and sadness. The cities where I was born, alas, is already not even on the map - it was renamed. But physically he is, and I always remember him. It is necessary to love and appreciate your small homeland, you can never forget about it. He who does not remember his past has no future, until the age of eighteen, I generally thought of Ukraine and Russia as a whole.

” The first chords to the music school of six-year-old Eugene were once brought by her mother. The first instrument was the accordion. In fact, Eugene dreamed of the piano, the keys attracted him, but the family lived very modestly, and the tool was simply nowhere to put. The load at the art school was serious - in addition to classes in the specialty, there were many other disciplines.

But at the same time, Eugene studied at the language gymnasium. The artist admits: like any child, especially in adolescence, he often wanted to quit his studies. Then he did not even think that he would connect life with music. But here the wise advice of mom helped, who follows the artist all his life. If not for this conversation, I probably would not have come to music at all.

This is my main rule - to bring everything to the logical end, or go to a new level and set new big tasks. And I teach my son to the same way. If you set a goal for yourself and did not achieve it, did not finish it, it’s wrong, it’s impossible. ” Doubts were finally dispelled when Eugene won the first victories at professional competitions. And in high school, he himself began to write music.

But this did not seem enough to him, and in the year Eugene began vocal classes. Eugene also fulfilled the children's dream of piano, and he was happy to give his accordion to the boy, whose family could not afford to buy an instrument. Eugene graduated from the gymnasium with a gold medal. Eugene emphasizes the path to Russia that it was the desire to bring everything to the logical end that influenced how his fate developed.

Like a truly Russian person, he always loved his native language. Thanks to his teacher, who was engaged with him completely for free, in the year Eugene won an absolute victory at the International Russian Language Olympiad in Yerevan and returned with a valuable reward - Grant for study at any Russian university. Oddly enough, at first Eugene chose not at all a conservatory, but by St.

Petersburg State Economic University. Mom advised first to get a practical specialty. And by the way, he also graduated from the university with a red diploma. But he did not forget about music, he was engaged in all the years of study at the university. And having received a specialty, he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory. The creative family of the Northern capital not only became the first home in the new homeland.

Here, the southern man Eugene met his wife - Julia Snezhin, his main critic and adviser. Julia is also a talented vocalist, and according to the second education, the theater actress. Artists work in different styles, but sometimes perform together. As you know, it can be difficult for two creative people to get along, but it seems that Julia and Eugene have found their recipe for happiness.

We have a good absolute tandem, because we trust each other - without trust will not work. She hears and can tell you what is wrong. ” Zhenya is an outstanding talent. Working with him on one stage is responsible and exciting! In addition, Zhenya is a reliable partner who is ready to interact and share. He is decisive, energetic, able to quickly solve the most unexpected problems!

It’s calm with him. ” In the year, the couple had a son Julian. It is not surprising that a boy from such a creative family made his debut on stage in the year. True, he does not sing, but recites poems, because he is seriously fond of poetry. Evgeny Yuzhin, the romance and cross -countrybolism of the listeners is known as the performer of the Russian romance, although the singer came to this genre, one might say, by chance.

In addition to serious vocal training, it requires acting. In two and a half minutes, a dramatic story is told, without exaggeration - I was born, fell in love, shot, I thought that I didn’t master it, but I was simply confronted with a fact. And I am very grateful to those people who did it. I tried and received the first award. So the romance entered my life very tightly, and since a year for about ten years I have touched not only in Russia, but also around the world.

” However, Eugene is not limited to academic music. From the very beginning, he is looking for new forms and arrangements, experimenting. For example, under perky music in the style of a crossover, you can dance at a disco, and even make a training.The crossover does not simplify the original, but enriches, because time is inevitably developing, and history is cyclical, and music, and culture.

And I want the audience to expand, and my desires come true. ” Mr. Positive spectators always note that positive energy, good and warmth literally come from Eugene. Now they especially need this. When the audience leaves enlightened, joyful, it is very cool. In our profession, the most important thing is to save yourself for the viewer. People have long bought tickets, they are waiting, I have to give them a moment of real spiritual unity, happiness, joy and hope.

There were times when he went on stage with an sore throat and could not say a word, but the ligaments were not hurt. Sometimes it happens that you think where to get mental strength to speak, but you go out onto the stage and - it gives everything, an exchange with the hall occurs. A smile appears on its own - the heart and soul are smiling, I live this exchange.

” Under the ground in the year Yuri Yurmanov, a representative of the administration of the Trans -Baikal Territory, came up with a completely original idea - to arrange a concert in the ancient underground cave Hatey. This was an unusual way to talk about the unique natural attractions of the region. And Eugene joyfully took part in this amazing project.

In Heaeta caves - huge beautiful halls, and amazing acoustics. The descent into the cave is not easy - more than a dozen meters in the ice waterfall, and the temperature is below zero. Eugene for forty minutes performed opera arias in a concert suit with burning candles. The performance was recorded on the video, but several people were lucky to become witnesses to a unique concert live.

And it was also not easy: “It was the same“ challenge ” - the sandstone mountains showered, and it is quite dangerous. Now it turns out that I sang underground, climbed to the mountain, it remains to speak under water and high in the sky - why not? The geography of Evgeny's speeches is amazing - he traveled literally all of Russia. In just two weeks, he performed in 12 cities - incredibly - a new city almost every day!

And Eugene is convinced that wherever he is, everywhere he feels the spirit of unity and the desire of people to be part of a great country. It seems to me that before we did not value the diversity and wealth of nature that we have. Russia is never sleeping: when in one part of the country the night, in the other, morning has already come. Everywhere people - Komi, Mari, Chuvash, Kabardians, Balkars, Chechens, Tatars - but they are still Russian.

They experience an irresistible desire to be one and proud of this, to be part of the great history, a large people, who together, no matter what. At my concerts, I feel the spirit of unity, a single impulse, which determines our identity. ” Now Eugene is preparing a new program, which he himself calls a sincere confession of love to his country. This is the mission of every Russian person-from generation to generation to pass this light further and further, then we will preserve our culture, regardless of some global phenomena.

” The patriotic theme for Eugene is always relevant. He is convinced that our past needs to be appreciated and know, then we will not make mistakes in the future, we will stand tightly on our feet and become stronger. This is great creativity, I treat him with great respect, but I always wanted them to sound not only when some kind of holiday or memorable date. I feel that people need it.

It is important to talk about what Russia is, about the milestones of history, about important achievements. I would like to find new forms of presentation of the material so that they are interesting, not only song. This is my land, and if the Motherland calls, then you have to get up and protect. ”
