UCM (Unzipped Classical Music) Club provides members a private concert hall to enjoy exclusive masterful performances of Tchaikovsky Competition Winner Andrei Gavrilov.
Any enthusiast of an independent recording label UCM who has donated at least 100 Swiss Francs for its development can become a permanent member of the club.
By Becoming a member of the club:
-
You will both listen to, and learn musical masterworks by great classical and serious musical composers through the hands of a true artistic originalist, philosopher, and master interpreter of the piano literature. Additionally members will join a unique community where they can explore through the mind and spirit of Andrei the mind, and spirits of the composers, as well as sharing the art and culture that shaped these composers’ creative souls. Some of these works may be largely unknown today to the general listening public, but are nonetheless beloved masterpieces which Andrei knows and believes must be shared with the world. As such, our most important mission is to help Andrei to create a new musical heritage series, as well as a harbor for his wellspring of amazing insights which will be shared with members through exclusive video performances and accompanying lectures. All funds collected by the club will go to furthering this mission to an ever higher level through the creation of new sound recordings which are also available to club members.
-
Rather than casting this community in the mold of the usual tired musical business model, this club will attempt to broaden the horizons of current classical listeners while also, at the same time, working to expand the classical serious musical audience. After all, Andrei desires to increase cultural awareness of these masterworks in a world sorely ignoring, and found wanting in the knowledge of, much of its true western cultural musical heritage. But he doesn’t want to do it alone – he wants this community to help him found a new classical world and cultural experience alongside him in which everyone shares in his revitalization and discovery of the beauty and soul of serious music.

The charter of the voluntary
non-profit community-club UCM
UCM - what does this stand for, and why was this name chosen?
Music is still the best thing, even in our modern computer era, where data is encoded and stored as "archived" data in "compressed music files".
Music is a universal code that stores feelings, emotions, thoughts, pictures, philosophical messages, and much more, that the composer puts into music. The task of the performer is "decipher, unpack" and convey to the listener all that is encoded into musical messages. The “Unzipped” in unzipped classical was derived from the name “Winzip”, one of the earliest and most widely adopted programs created to archive (an encoded formatting conversion) data files by compressing or “packing” them into smaller files that could be easily shared by other users. Using this same program, recipients of the file would decompress the data (recover and translate back to its original format), a process called “unpacking” in order to decipher, or view, the contents of the file. So analogously we look at music as a method of archiving the living composer’s soul via musical “files”, only in the case of serious, or, if you will, classical, music, this archiving is much more versatile - hence the name UCM, Unzipped Classical Music.
