Its melodic, simple and understandable, taking the soul of songs, is singing all of Russia. They form the basis of the repertoire of an amateur team, which has been led by this talented organizer, musician and composer for 40 years. Mikhail Bondarenko was born in the Kyshtovsky district on May 19, in an ordinary family where they loved music. Songs constantly sounded in the house, his father played the button accordion, companies gathered, they sang folk songs that the boy absorbed from childhood into himself.

And I didn’t get up because of him. Unfortunately, we did not have a music school in the village. He mastered everything himself. " A talented self -taught came to the Barabinsk music school in the Bayan class, graduated from it in the year. In the year he arrived in the Iskitim district, in Linevo. It was a young village, the Komsomol construction of an electric plant.

According to Mikhail Bondarenko, at that time the village is Burlil, there were many creative groups, even the village shows of amateur performances held. Having plunged into this environment, the musician drew attention to a small vocal group at the plant club. And he proposed to create a choir. And the people responded, ”recalls Mikhail Mikhailovich. And so in the fall began to slowly, through trial and errors, to create our team.

Initially, it consisted of factory workers, then teachers and educators appeared. And to this day, our choir exists and works. It's nice that there are people who are engaged in it from the first day. ” The team performed at many sites of Novosibirsk, visited different cities of the country, more than once become a laureate of international competitions, was awarded the Zavolokins Prize and other significant awards.

For 40 years, Mikhail Bondarenko has been working in the genre of Russian song, writes music to the words of local poets, they are performed by groups of amateur performances not only of our region, but throughout Russia.

When you write a song, you put your soul into each. ” According to Mikhail Mikhailovich, music is a very deep thing that can be expressed, not only the mood. Mikhail Bondarenko released several collections of songs. Many of them are on the verses of the local poetess from the village of Shibkovo Nadezhda Lebedko. She recently passed away. When people sing, it is important for them that all this sounds beautiful.

But when the text takes the soul right away, it is also important. ” As the melody arises, the author finds it difficult to answer this question. He tells what happens like this: you take the text, and nothing comes. And then suddenly the music begins to sound. And within a week three or four songs appear. And it happens that nothing has been born for two or three months. God's gift is given from above, someone more, someone less.

" And most importantly, to be able to reveal it, to realize creative potential.

Mikhail Bondarenko succeeded. In the future, I would like to preserve the team, delight people with performances, songs. He draws attention to such a sad moment that mainly groups that work in folk art become age: people are aging, leaving, there are no feeding. Last year, due to the pandemic, it was not possible to spend the anniversary evening, which was prepared by the whole composition of the folk choir.

The author specifically wrote a song dedicated to all participants in amateur performances. So far, it is difficult to bring the entire team to a rehearsal: it has more than 30 people. There are people over 65 years old. And they, as a rule, sing on the main voices. Now the leader collects them in small compositions of ten people. And we will look forward to a meeting with the wonderful folk choir of the Linevsky recreation center at concerts.

And we hope that more than once we will hear the new songs of the talented musician Mikhail Bondarenko. Anna Zubareva, a photo of the author gold and bronze of the Russian Cup in Biathlon among veterans was won by Andrei Balashov from the Iskitimi district.
