Yuliy Kim – 90th Anniversary Tour!

Julius Kim – The Era of Author’s Song and Theater! At 90 years old, with a grand jubilee tour!

The chief mocker, philosopher, and one of the last classics of the "golden age" of author’s song, Julius Kim, opens a major concert tour in Israel this autumn, timed to his 90th birthday.

Julius Chersanovich Kim was born on December 23, 1936. A renowned poet, playwright, and bard, he has written around 500 songs, more than three dozen plays and musicals; he is a laureate of the State Prize named after Bulat Okudzhava; holder of the Tsarskoye Selo Art Prize and the national prize "Musical Heart of the Theater." Since the 1960s, he has been an active participant in the human rights movement in the USSR, publishing under the pseudonym Y. Mikhailov. His works have been translated into many languages of the world.

The jubilee program of the tour by this great bard will be a unique retrospective: from daring dissident ballads of the Soviet era to all-time favorite hits from cinema and theater masterpieces: "Ordinary Miracle," "The Twelve Chairs," "Bumbarash," "Formula of Love," "About Little Red Riding Hood" – this list can go on forever.

At 90 years old, Kim retains astonishing youthful sharpness, self-irony, and that very famous artistry which turns each of his songs into a mini-play, and every meeting with Julius Chersanovich is always therapy, always a date with smart, kind, and incredibly alive WORD.

Come to the concerts of this great bard. After all, this is a rare opportunity to personally connect with a living legend!
