Lyceum is a musical group that originated in Russia in the early 1990s. In the songs of the Lyceum group, a lyrical theme is clearly traced.
When the team just started its activity, their audience consisted of teenagers and young people up to 25 years old.
History of creation and composition of the Lyceum group
The first team was formed back in 1991. Initially, the musical group included such performers as Anastasia Kapralova (two years later she changed her surname to Makarevich), Izolda Ishkhanishvili and Elena Perova.
At the time of the creation of the Lyceum group, its soloists were barely 15 years old. But this also had its advantages. The soloists managed to quickly find their audience. A few years after the creation of the group, they already had a huge army of fans.
A little later, Zhanna Roshtakova joined the musical group. However, the girl did not last long in the group. She left the group, going on a solo voyage.
The first serious replacement of the soloists of the Lyceum group took place in 1997. Then, due to a quarrel with Alexei Makarevich, who was the producer of the team, the talented Lena Perova left.
At first, Lena realized herself as a TV presenter. However, she soon got tired of the work, and she returned to the big stage again. The Amega group took Perova into her arms. In the group, Perov was replaced by the sexy Anna Pletneva.
The next line-up change took place only in 2001. Ishkhanishvili decided to leave her singing career and chose her personal life. The girl's place was taken by Svetlana Belyaeva. A year later, Sophia Taikh also joined the girl band.
In 2005, the musical group left Pletneva to later create their own group, Vintage. Elena Iksanova took the place of Pletneva.
Already in 2007, this soloist left the band. Elena turned to Pletneva and created her own team. Iksanova was replaced by Anastasia Berezovskaya.
In 2008, Taikh left the Lyceum group. The girl, like previous soloists, decided to build a solo career.
A few years later, Taich returned to the group again, as her solo career did not work out.
During Taikh's absence, Anna Shchegoleva replaced her. They decided to leave Anna, since Berezovskaya left due to pregnancy.
In 2016, Berezovskaya returned to the team. The soloists in the group changed like gloves. Anastasia Makarevich remained the only permanent performer for a long time. At the moment, the Lyceum group is Makarevich, Taikh and Berezovskaya.

In honor of supporting the released album, the Lyceum group went on another tour. During the tour, the girls were filled with a sea of positive impressions. This was the impetus for the recording of the fourth album "Train-cloud".
The girls recorded video clips for the title tracks “Cloud Train”, “The Sun Hid Behind the Mountain” and “Parting”. In addition, the Lyceum group became a member of the Musical Ring TV show in 1997.
