For more than a quarter century, three girls have been singing about love to their own guitar accompaniment. As time passed, the composition of the Lyceum group changed, but the soloist of the collective and its permanent leader, Anastasia Makarevich, remained constant.
Nastya wanted to sing from early childhood. Performances in the courtyard with the constant representation of herself as a folk artist often led her to advise her mother to teach the girl. There was a time when singing was a way to communicate with parents.
Childhood
Muscovite Anastasia Alexandrovna Kapralova was born on April 17, 1977. Her father was engaged in journalism, was a screenwriter, her mother was a well-known economist.
When the child was about eight years old, a breakdown occurred in the family, and the father did not take part in raising his daughter anymore. The real father for the girl was the second husband of her mother - Alexei Makarevich, production designer, ex-member of the famous group "Sunday" and cousin of Andrei Makarevich. Later, receiving a passport, Nastya will write down the name of Makarevich and the middle name of Alekseevna there.
Mom identified the gifted girl to a music school in the guitar class, waiting for quiet and peaceful music lessons in a separate room. How wrong she was! The room was quickly filled not only with ordinary guitars, but also with electric tools, amplifiers, speakers and other variety attributes.
Visiting a studio organized by Yuri Sherling, Anastasia learns to sing jazz. And with the transfer to the famous school No. 1113, where Kolya Baskov could be heard singing on the stairs, and almost the entire composition of the Popov children's choir studied, life was completely in full swing. In addition to performances on the school stage, there was also a children's variety theater, which became the meeting place for the first composition of the Lyceum group.
"Lyceum"
Alexei Makarevich, seeing the daughter’s great desire to perform on stage, decided to try to organize a girl group. At first, he himself was not only a producer, but also a dresser and author of the music and words of the Lyceum repertoire.
In the year 91, the first performance with the song "Saturday Night" took place. Before the release of the beloved hit "Autumn", the girls had been together for three years and released 2 albums. The famous song gave a powerful impetus to the group, everyone knew it, "Lyceum" toured the country a lot.
In parallel with her work, Anastasia received the specialty “Hotel Business” at MESI, the second higher education - music - was given to her by the Maimonides Academy, where she currently teaches piano and vocal lessons.
The group "Lyceum" continues to live, 10 albums have already been released. Although the composition has changed repeatedly, the soul of the team, and after the death of Makarevich and his leader, remains Anastasia Makarevich.
