The multi-genre musical program brought together over 1,500 spectators at the National Centre RUSSIA on International Women's Day. Guests enjoyed performances by artists from various genres. The fusion of classical music and beatboxing left no one indifferent.

"I really enjoyed the wonderful concert at the National Centre RUSSIA. My wife, son, and I attended together and had a great time — thank you very much. The blend of beatboxing and classical music is simply a treasure. That's the main reason I came to see it," shared theater and film actor Maxim Klestov.

"A grand-scale show took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. I could not have imagined such a centre that embodies a national idea — I’m here for the first time. The technical setup and organization of the centre speak to its high quality. I wish the National Centre even more spectators and more events of this level," emphasized the President of the Guild of Producers and Organizers of Film Production of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia, Philipp Kudryashov.

"We witnessed a full house today. It is truly heartwarming to see how classical art, especially opera singing, attracts so many people. At times, the combination of modern DJ performance with opera vocals was truly unexpected. It was something new and creative. Judging by the audience's reaction, they really enjoyed it. It was a fantastic way to celebrate today's occasion," said pianist and violinist Maria Andreyeva.

Young listeners of the concert program "Ode to a Woman Through the Ages" particularly noted the performance of world beatboxing champion Vakhtang.

"What surprised me the most was how Vakhtang played his role. He did different vocal tricks. And that’s the most astonishing part—no one else can do it, but he can. I really liked the fusion of modern and Soviet music. The fact that they took Soviet music, the DJ altered it, and it turned into contemporary music was amazing," shared 10-year-old audience member Maria Sheremeteva.

The concert program "Ode to a Woman Through the Ages" featured performances by the vocal ensemble Ariel, the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, soloists of the Bolshoi Theatre and the Mariinsky Theatre, folk DJ Arif, the Folk Dance Ensemble of the Moscow Regional College of Arts, and many other artists.
