About Us
GreenWave – this name shared the name of environmental actions that Alexander Cheparukhin held in the late 1980s - early 90s, and his company established in 1991. GreenWave is the production company and team of professionals creating world-class music events.
Among the GreenWave`s projects are concerts of King Crimson, Philip Glass, Kronos Quartet, John Zorn, Michael Nyman, John McLaughlin and Shakti, David Sylvian, and many other musicians who are known as "élite". Some names have become known to the Russian audience due to the fact that they were invited and brought into the country by Alexander Cheparukhin; among them – Kampes Dolores, Mystery Juice, The Bays, Los De Abajo.
GreenWave organized dozens of festival programs, and concert tours in more than 40 countries around the world: Russia, Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Australia, and Latin America.
One of such programs was the East Winds at the Edinburgh Festival (it involved more than 100 artists, some of which have received Herald Angel Award for best musical programs). We also carried out such programs on other major festivals like Montreal Jazz Festival, San Francisco Jazz Festival, Tokyo World Music Festival, Hong Kong Festival of Asian Arts, Perth International Arts Festival, etc.
In May 2003, GreenWave became one of the main foreign partners of Barbican Centre in London and organised one of the most ambitious in the history New Eastern European Music Festival «X-Block Reunion».
In Russia GreenWave carries out projects outside the genre framework, working with jazz, folk, rock, contemporary and world music, electronics, and music and theatre shows.
In the early 2000s, Alexander Cheparukhin partly curates such festivals as "Sayan Ring" and KAMWA.
Since 2008, GreenWave organizes the annual international "Creation of Peace" festival in Kazan.
Since 2010, GreenWave organizes and holds an annual international "Movement" festival.
