For more than a quarter of a century, three girls have been singing about love to their own guitar accompaniment. As time went on, the composition of the Lyceum group changed, but the soloist of the group and its permanent leader, Anastasia Makarevich, remained constant.
Nastya wanted to sing from early childhood. Performances in the courtyard with a constant representation of herself as a folk artist often led to the fact that her mother was advised to teach the girl by all means. There was a time when singing was a way of communicating with parents.
Childhood
Muscovite Anastasia Aleksandrovna Kapralova was born on April 17, 1977. Her father was engaged in journalism, was a screenwriter, her mother was a famous economist.
When the child was about eight years old, a break in relations occurred in the family, and the father did not take part in raising his daughter anymore. The real father for the girl was her mother's second husband - Alexei Makarevich, production designer, ex-member of the well-known group "Sunday" and cousin of Andrei Makarevich. Later, receiving a passport, Nastya will write down the name Makarevich and patronymic Alekseevna there.
Mom assigned the gifted girl to a music school in the guitar class, expecting quiet and calm music lessons in a separate room. How wrong she was! The room quickly filled not only with ordinary guitars, but also with power tools, amplifiers, speakers and other stage attributes.
Visiting a studio organized by Yuri Sherling, Anastasia learns to sing jazz. And with the transfer to the famous school number 1113, where you could hear Kolya Baskov singing on the stairs, and almost the entire composition of Popov's children's choir studied, life was in full swing. In addition to performances on the school stage, there was also a children's stage theater, which became a meeting point for the first composition of the Lyceum group.
Lyceum
Alexey Makarevich, seeing his 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 costume designer and author of music and lyrics for the Lyceum repertoire.
In 1991, the first performance with the song "Saturday Evening" 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 receives a specialty in hotel business at MESI, the second higher education - music - was given to her by the Maimonides Academy, where she still teaches piano and vocal lessons.
The Lyceum group continues to live, 10 albums have already been released. Although the composition has changed several times, the soul of the team, and after the death of Makarevich and his leader, Anastasia Makarevich remains.
Personal life
In 2000, Nastya married a lawyer Yevgeny Pershin.
In 2003, they had a son, Matvey, and in 2011, Makar.
The husband, being a person far from creativity, supports the singer in everything. Family relationships have been romantic for nearly two decades.
Anastasia does not hide the fact that she is a happy wife and mother, and considers the caring attitude to each other to be the main recipe for family well-being.
The house has a huge library left over from my grandfather. The singer herself reads a lot and enjoys reading and teaches her sons to read books in the original, and not on electronic media.
Likes to play chess, goes in for downhill skiing.
Anastasia Makarevich considers family to be the main thing that a person should have. The family gave her not only a happy childhood, but also gave her a start in creative life.
A family of her own is her fortress. “I fly in the clouds, and my husband holds me firmly on the ground,” she says.
