  • Concerts scheduled for Tel Aviv on Oct 8 and Haifa on Oct 9.

Maxim Leonidov and Alexey Kortnev, frontmen of the influential Russian bands "Secret" and "Nezhnostny Sluchai" respectively, are set to return to Israel for encore performances of their joint show, "Rock-n-Rollers." The duo will perform in Tel Aviv on October 8th and in Haifa on October 9th, following a successful run of the show last year.

The collaboration between Leonidov and Kortnev began in the late 1990s, evolving from separate performances to a deeper artistic partnership. A pivotal moment was the 2004 theatrical production "Two Others," for which they not only starred but also co-composed the music. This experience solidified their friendship and paved the way for their joint "Rock-n-Rollers" show.

The "Rock-n-Rollers" performance features the artists singing each other's songs, playfully blending lyrics and melodies, and sharing anecdotes. The show is characterized by their strong on-stage chemistry and genuine friendship, creating an atmosphere described as "fantastically fun." Audiences can expect a program filled with beloved hits from both artists' repertoires, including songs like "Privet," "Chto ty imela v vidu," "Videnie," "Yesli b ne bylo tebya," "Ne day emu uyti," and "Generaly peschanikh kar'yerov."

The show aims to provide a lighthearted and enjoyable experience for the audience, offering a temporary escape with familiar songs performed in a fresh way. The Tel Aviv performance will take place at the Eretz Israel Museum's Klachkin Auditorium, and the Haifa show will be held at the Rappoport Hall. Tickets are available through BARD Productions.
