On September 12, the premiere of the program "...She and music and word..." took place. Alisa Freindlich performed alongside Vladimir Spivakov and the Virtuosos of Moscow orchestra. The 91-year-old actress read works by Mandelstam, Gumilyov, Akhmatova, and Tsvetaeva. The orchestra played music by Bach, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Piazzolla. A rare photograph of Freindlich and Spivakov was shared by opera singer Hibla Gerzmava. She called the concert unique, and fans admitted that the fresh photo of the actress brought them to tears.  According to media reports, at the finale, the audience applauded standing for about ten minutes and shouted "Bravo!" To the ovation, Freindlich and Spivakov twirled in a small dance. The actress herself admitted that she was very nervous: "I was so shy." Among the audience, Igor and Vadim Vernik supported Freindlich, noting the lightness, confidence, and subtle humor of her performance. Currently, the actress rarely participates in regular performances, preferring individual creative projects. Alisa Freindlich's new performance was a true gift for her fans. The ovation, dance with Spivakov, and the actress's sincere admission of her nervousness made the evening especially touching.
