Eastern and European Traditions in the musical culture of the Far Eastern Region

Abstract

The article examines the musical culture of the Far East from the point of view of the integration of European cultural traditions. The academic musical culture is noted as a special kind of material capable of absorbing and transmitting European values. Interethnic cultural ties and, in particular, issues of integration of European traditions into Eastern culture are considered.

The role of Russian immigrants to the Russian Far East and their descendants for the formation of a musical culture of the European type, as well as the process of spreading this culture to the East, is analyzed. The available information on the formation of the musical picture of the Far East region in terms of penetration of European musical traditions into the East is highlighted. The mutual enrichment of the music of the East and the West is seen as one of the paths for the development of world musical art.
