The ensemble Opus-Posth. was formed in 1999 from the Academy of Ancient Music, a well-known orchestra founded by Tatiana Grindenko.
The ensemble`s work is based on the concept of composer Vladimir Martynov, which defines musicians` creative views in line with the contemporary cultural situation. This concept is reflected in the very name of the ensemble – Opus-Posth., which is a widely-used abbreviation of the Latin opus posthumus (posthumous work), normally given to a piece of music that is published only after the composer`s death. Today the words opus posth mean something greater than just a posthumous publication – they are connected with a new kind of music that appeared in the era of Postmodernism.
The ensemble Opus-Posth. is a unique orchestra which not only performs works by contemporary composers, but which also seeks out new form of expression in music. For over two years now the ensemble has been working in a previously nonexistent genre which lies on the borders between opera, concert, folklore and the avant-garde.
The ensemble Opus-Posth. has taken part in many projects of Vladimir Martynov, such as Night in Galicia (together with artist and illustrator Francisco Infante Arana and the Dmitry Pokrovsky Ensemble), the Requiem in Anatoly Vasiliev`s production of Mozart and Salieri (together with the Sirin Chorale), Yuri Lyubimov`s production of Apocalypse, Folk Dance (with Gennady Abramov`s Class of Expressive Plastic Movement). The ensemble has also been involved in the production of CD recordings of Joseph Haydn`s The Seven Last Words of Christ and Vladimir Martynov`s works Night in Galicia, Come In!, Canticum Fratres Solis..., Magnificat and Hymns.
