Moscow, 3rd of November, "Rossija" concert hall. "Alsou And Her Authors" was first "Trilogy" concert.

The road to this concert lasted three years. Many concerts in Russia and CIS countries, awards and performances... But there was no event, which could become an exam for Alsou. Everybody was waiting for this, and when the date was announced, the public stopped breathing, awaiting for the concert...

The wind blows on Moscow streets. Today the public will see the program "Alsou And Her Authors" for the last time. Tomorrow Alsou is going to be different.

The general rehearsal. Alsou appears in noon. The band is nervous, but everyone jokes around. The rehearsal finishes before the very concert.

The public starts to fill the hall at 7 PM. "Where is my Alsou?" - children ask their parents. Even the places between the seat rows are filled by photographs and operators.

The show begins with applause and public's laugh: the light comes down, and the huge monitor shows the black-and-white family film, where five years old Alsou plays the grand piano and smiles at the camera. Then the monitor shows the fragments of Alsou's concerts, stadiums and the crowds of fans. Has taken a tension to the hall, it had switched off.

Then Alsou appears from the stream of green light, as a misterious dark image. But then the bright light shoots on her and we see her dressed in a white top and blue jeans and her musicians as well. "Glaza V Glaza" was the first performed song, very lyrical and sad. Alsou sang it so sincerely that no one could stay calm. To the end of the song the hall explodes in applause. Then Alsou sings the joyful "Bosikom", melodical "Svet V Tvoyom Okne" and "Posledniy Zvonok", before which Alsou said she will never perform it again. The song about the last school days was sung by the students in the hall.

Then it is a first pause for Alsou and the musicians, and chance for the public to give Alsou flowers. There are so many people with bouquets that the pause lasts several minutes, and Alexander Shevchenko almost implores them to show their gratitude later.

Then the new song "Vchera" was performed. Alexander Shevchenko told the story how he and Igor Krutoy wrote "Vsyo Ravno". It turned out that Alexander asked Igor, what the song will be about, and Igor answered: "Doesn't matter", which is "Vsyo Ravno" in Russian. So thats how the name of the song was born.

The next song "Ak Chishme" ("The White River") was performed in tatarian language. Alsou tells the public she sings in Russian and English, but she also wants to sing in her native language.

Alsou reminds the concert name and lets her authors, Alexander Shevchenko and Vadim Baikov to perform.

Then the monitor shows extracts of Alsou's foreign performances. As Alsou appears on the stage, the public notices changes in her look: she is dressed into a leather waistcoat, and since that moment she performs English songs. The songs "He Loves Me" and "Before You Love Me" were with beautiful dances. Alsou decides to perform the song "Everybody" with the whole hall. To do this, she with the help of Alexander Shevchenko repeats the easy words several times: "La-la-la-la-la-la". As a result, the song is sang by the childrens' chorus. Then Alsou performs her own song "Teardrops". The singer tells the public about the song "Solo" with the special pleasure, because it helped her to achieve the second place on "Eurovision 2000". With this composition the part with the English songs comes to an end, and Alsou runs of the stage to change clothes, transferring the microphone and right of performance to her other author Alexander Shevchenko. Alexander pleases the spectators with old, but still popular composition "Everything Will Be The Way You Want" and a ballad "I'm Falling Into Love".

The third block of Russian songs begins sadly. Even despite the new transformation of Alsou (now she is in a long pink dress), her eyes do not transfer fun and joyful mood to the hall. And soon all becomes clear. The monitor behind Shevchenko's back flashes with the image of burning candles, Alsou and Alexander go to the center of the stage. Alexander addresses a speech to the hall, talking about October 2002 terror in Moscow (when the terrorists captured the musical), and together with Alsou under accompaniment of one solo guitar they sing the song "Zdec Vsyo Pomnit O Tebe" ("Everything Here Remembers You"), full of grief. The next songs, "Vesna" and "Osen" fly by on one breath. After every song the singer can't gather the tons of flowers from the fans, and the guys from dancing group help her. Before "Zimniy Son" Alsou says that it was her debut song, which helped her to become popular. The song "Vmeste I Navsegda" is performed together with Alsou's authors A.Shevchenko and V.Baikov. After the song all of the musicians, dancers, back-vocalists and Alsou stay in the center of the stage, bow to the spectators and and leave backstage. The delighted public watches the artists leave and prepare to abandon their seats.

However, it is not the end of the program. All Alsou's team comes back to the stage and blows up the hall with the song "Inogda". But it's no the end yet. Light becomes weaker, and the spotlight is turned to the center of the stage, covering the grand piano, specially prepared for this moment, for the performance of last song. Last composition in the program of Alsou was the song "Angel", completely written by her. The show was over, the space opposite the stage was crowded by about three hundred fans with flowers, cards and toys. After a long pause Alsou, nevertheless, came to her fans and during half an hour gave the autographes. There was an ocean of flowers and words of gratitude from the admirers.

"Alsou And Her Authors" is the program, which was left in the past, but it will not be. The signed cards, as the pieces of light memory forever will stay in hearts of all those who were there.
