The composition of the members of one of the most successful domestic female pop-rock groups "Lyceum" has changed several times. Only the front woman of the team, Anastasia Makarevich, remained a permanent participant. In connection with the production of the team by her since 2014, the name was changed to "Nastya Makarevich and the Lyceum group."
The Lyceum ensemble was born in 1991, on December 12. Unique sound, sincere message and excellent sense of style explain the success of the project. In 2020, in addition to Anastasia, Sofia Teikh and Ekaterina Nepruk perform in the trio.
Start of activity
The idea of creation belongs to Alexey Makarevich, a gifted production designer and musician. A member of the "Resurrection" group decided to create a project, the hallmark of which will be a guitar in hand.
The best candidate for the implementation of the plans was his adopted daughter Anastasia Kapralova. In addition to her, the team included Izolda Ishkhanishvili and Elena Perova.
The participants of the Lyceum made their debut in November 1991 in the Morning Mail program. The girls sang the ABBA quartet's "One of us".
First successes
The collective's date of birth is December 12, 1991. However, as a new ensemble, the trio performed the song "Saturday Evening" from their repertoire in April 1992 on the TV show "Musical Oboz".
At the same time, the participants made their debut with the album "House Arrest". The first video was shot for the title song of the new collection "Girlfriend of the Night". Concert activity started from the moment all participants of the school graduated.
The girls became famous after the disc "Open Curtain". The number one hit was the composition "Autumn". In 1994, the trio was named the best group. In 1995 the team was awarded the "Ovation" award as the discovery of the year.
"Lyceum" presented 9 discs to fans, performed in more than a thousand cities, shot 14 clips, gave a concert at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia" and starred in the documentary film "Actually". Repeatedly, the girls took part in television programs.
Change
With Elena Perova's departure from the project in 1997, Anna Pletneva became a member of the trio. With her participation the collection "Sky" was recorded. In 2000, the style changed to a more modern one. Nastya Makarevich and Anya Pletneva wrote some of the singles for the new disc “You have become different”.
In 2001, Isolde left the team. She was replaced by Sophia Teich. In October 2005, Elena Iksanova took the place of Anna Pletneva.
In August 2014, Alexey Makarevich passed away. The producer of the group was his daughter Anastasia, who all the time was not only the voice and face of the team, but also its constant leader. The trio changed its name to Nastya Makarevich and the Lyceum group.
On the radio "Dacha" the premiere of the composition "Forecasters" took place. In early December, the listeners were presented with the album "Best Songs", which included 2 new singles.
In December 2017, Ekaterina Nepruk joined the team, replacing Nastya Berezovskaya. The first disc, released under the direction of Anastasia Alekseevna, was the album "Time is racing." Its release took place on March 1, 2018.
