In the world of cinema, there is such a thing as a "launching pad". This is the name of the projects that initiated successful career actors - like the series "" and "".

Biography, life story of the Lyceum group
Lyceum is a female musical group.
Group history
The Lyceum was first opened in 1991. It was then, after attending one of the concerts of the children's theater-studio, the ex-guitarist of the cult group "", the famous Moscow decorator Alexei Makarevich, decided to create a professional group from three charming "bel canto" girls.
The debut of the girl trio took place in 1992 at the Morning Star competition, where the group performed as guests with a song from the repertoire of the Swedish quartet One Of Us. The first song in Russian "Saturday Evening" was performed in the MuzOboz program in 1992 and soon acquired the status of the group's "calling card". A year later, the "lyceum students" recorded and released their debut album "House Arrest" - it included three songs "" sung by the girls, several songs by Alexei Makarevich himself to the verses of Karen Kavaleryan and the lyrical ballad "Trace on the Water" written by Alexei himself, which soon became a hit . In 1993-94, the "lyceum students" graduated from school, began an active tour activity, began to go on stage together with the masters of Russian music, where they looked very worthy, and, finally, in 1995 they recorded their second album, “Girlfriend Night”.
Music critics were unanimous in their assessment of the group: the trio brought to the scene a spirit somewhat forgotten in the 90s: "root" guitar rock and roll, blue jeans and white shirts against the backdrop of hit melodies, "live" music and a well-staged, strong female vocals.
In 1996, Lyceum recorded new album"Open Curtain" (the author's disc by Alexei Makarevich, who acted as both the author of lyrics and the composer), but this time not with a computer, but with "live" rock and roll. With them, the trio began to appear on stage. The song and video "Autumn" became mega-hits and in an instant elevated the girls from "young and promising" to the category of super popular.
At the end of the year and the triumphal tour of the country, the group decided to give the first "live" solo concert in Moscow. It was sold out on October 26 at the Moscow Palace of Youth: laconic and stylish scenography, live music, professionalism and confidence of three young artists conquered the difficult Moscow audience.

The main events of the first half of 1997 for the trio "Lyceum" were solo concerts, held in March of the same year in the main hall of Moscow - the State Central Concert Hall "Russia", as well as work on the new album "Engine Cloud". This disc included such hits as “Cloud Train”, “Stranger”, “Parting”, “Winter Girl” and others. Soon a video cassette with documentary"Actually", covering the little-known aspects of the band's life.
In July 1997, Alexey Makarevich fired one of the participants from the group for violating the terms of the contract. Immediately after the appearance of a new soloist in the Lyceum, the group shoots a new video for the song "Parting". At the end of 1998, the next album "Sky" was released with ten new songs, two of which - "Sky" and "Red Dog" - were shot clips that fell into the rotation of the MTV-Russia channel.
The spring and summer of 1999 were marked by performances at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall, for which four new singles were recorded, and tours to the Baltic states and Bulgaria. The video for the single "You have become different" also gets into rotation on MTV-Russia. On December 15, 2000, the sixth numbered disc of the Lyceum group, You Have Become Different, was released, where the artists tried themselves as songwriters and music writers.
In the new century, Lyceum is not only a girlish pop-rock trio with many years of experience, the permanent producer of which is Alexei Makarevich, but also a powerful brand, the corporate atmosphere of which is a life-affirming, incendiary girlish positive. Despite the periodically occurring changes in the composition, this principle is always preserved. Moreover, an experienced producer strives to ensure that each new member group was no less a bright personality than the previous one, and even brought even more drive to the team. That is why the "Lyceum" retained its original energy and enthusiasm - despite the fact that the skill of the trio members has clearly increased.
The famous action movie "Autumn", which appeared in the mid-90s, played an ambiguous role for the group: it turned out to be so successful that other equally successful songs of the trio were lost behind it for a long time. The fatal autumn syndrome was successfully overcome in 2002, when the public heard the new super hit "You will become an adult." Soon after the success of this song, Lyceum released two more singles - "How did you dream of him" (December 2002) and "Rain is falling" (July 2003). As a result, during 2002-2003 the group took top positions in the composite charts.
In 2005, the group presented a new album "44 minutes". In 2008, Lyceum fans were once again in for a pleasant surprise - the Grand Collection disc went on sale.
The basis of the Lyceum's repertoire is made up of songs written by Alexei Makarevich. The permanent style of the group is romantic girls-rock.
"Lyceum" is a project, the concept of which suggests that the group should have bright personalities - three different original characters, organically combined into one whole (with an emotional range from girlish lyricism to girlish enthusiasm). As Aleksey Makarevich said, an artist whose character fully meets the requirements of the project can become a participant in the Lyceum. Such an artist can, remaining herself and in no way changing the specifics of her personality, fulfill herself within the framework of the project. That is why Lyceum was and remains both a production project and a lively, sincere group. Over the years, the concept of "Lyceum" has become more and more clear.
“There are more pluses in the arrival of a new person- said Nastya Makarevich, - because with new faces a second wind opens up. Now Sonya has joined the team, who brought another new blood".
“We have something to strive for, we have somewhere to go, she said. - We have something to conquer, whom to conquer and what to conquer. We have a state of hunters ".

1. It seems that we learned the song "Autumn" only yesterday, but time flies quickly: in 2016 the famous Russian group"Lyceum" celebrated its 25th anniversary. The musical group was formed by producer Alexei Makarevich at the dawn of show business, back in 1991.
2. In 1991, at the time of the formation of the Lyceum group, its first members (Nastya Makarevich, Lena Perova and Izolda Ishkhanishvili) were only 14 years old.

4. The stars of the "gold composition" of the Lyceum group Anna Pletneva, Nastya Makarevich and Izolda Ishkhanishvili studied at the same school. The future popular tenor Nikolai Baskov, the future singer Inna Malikova and the future actress and director Natalya Gromushkina studied in parallel classes with the girls.
5. A member of the last team - Sofia Taikh ishalf-sister of Prokhor Chaliapin. By the way, the girl was in the group twice, with a short break for a solo career:from 2002 to 2007 and from 2011 to this day.
Recall that some time ago, one of the members of the Lyceum group, Elena Perova, 38, attempted suicide by mixing alcohol with psychotropic drugs, but was saved.
The media reported the death of the 33-year-old ex-soloist of the group "Lyceum" Zhanna Roshtakova. Her death became known from the publication of her friend Prokhor Chaliapin, who wrote about the sad event on his Instagram. The singer said that this news was a big blow for him - after all, Zhanna was healthy and had never been ill with anything serious.
“On Monday, a friend of my youth called me, Zhanna Roshtakova, who moved to Vladivostok several years ago and decided to return to Moscow for permanent residence. How happy I was as a child. I say, they say, we'll meet right away, let's go there, here ... We painted plans on Monday, January 9th. We have been friends since 1999, from the same “Morning Star”, in which Zhanna also participated and where we met. We have always been on the same wavelength. Jeanne is an incredible soul person, talented singer, bright, beautiful girl. A few hours ago I was informed that Jeanne was gone. A few hours after our conversation. At the age of 33 ... Tragedy overtook the house, unexpectedly. She was not sick with anything, and nothing foreshadowed trouble. People, value life and loved ones. Jeanne, you are forever in my heart, ”wrote Chaliapin.
As it turned out, the cause of her death was an accident. “Jeanne was lying in the bath, and a shelf fell on her head. There was no one else at home, and no one could help her.
