The musical performance "Symphony of Life" took place on March 18 in the concert hall of the National Centre RUSSIA. It was dedicated to the celebration of the "Russian Spring". The audience heard a combination of saxophone and organ performed by renowned artists: saxophonist, international competition laureate, and representative of the new generation of Russian instrumentalists Veronika Kozhukhova, and organist, participant of major classical music festivals Hiroko Inoue.

"For me, as a person who was born in Crimea and has always considered myself Russian, this day is especially significant. Eleven years ago, Crimea reunited with Russia. Therefore, today, in our program, we have the famous 'Sevastopol Waltz.' On this memorable day, at the National Centre, I will be able to express my love, my feelings, my connection to my family, Crimea, and Russia through music," emphasized Veronika Kozhukhova.

The program was complemented by multimedia visual solutions. Lighting and video effects helped create vibrant and dynamic digital images for each composition.

"I am very happy that we are participating in such an event as 'Russian Spring.' This is a big event. I am really happy that we have been playing with Veronika for so many years. Our collaboration is expanding. I am very glad to be here," said Hiroko Inoue.

With the help of the video content, the audience was presented with visuals complementing the musical performance. The ballet of Alla Dukhova's "Todes" participated in the performance of "Symphony of Life."
