The "Fanfare of Victory — 2024" festival was held at the Exposition
On May 9, the Main Street Stage of the RUSSIA EXPO hosted a
brass music festival "Fanfare of Victory — 2024". Children's and youth brass
bands from five regions of Russia, choirs, dance ensembles and soloists
performed compositions about the Great Patriotic War, waltzes and marches,
lyrical and patriotic works, songs about Moscow, and together with other
artists took part in a mass performance of David Tukhmanov's song "Victory
Day".
The orchestras marched in a musical procession through the
Exposition territory. More than 600 musicians took part in the festival. To the
accompaniment of the combined brass band of the festival visitors took part in
a dance event.
Nikolai Fedorovich Shishkin, a veteran of the Great
Patriotic War, reminded that strength is always in truth and unity.
"I congratulate you on the Victory holiday! This great
holiday unites all our mighty, numerous Russian people. Our Motherland is
strong in spirit, strong in faith and truth. All our people are united around
our beloved President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin," said Nikolai Fedorovich.
The importance of preserving and strengthening historical
memory was reiterated by veteran of the Great Patriotic War Ivan Petrovich
Lytkin.
“I thank you for the memory of that war, of those who gave their
lives. If one person loses the memory — it is a tragedy of one person, but if
our society lost the memory of the heroic glory of the state, Russia would have
no future, it would cease to exist. As long as we live, we must remember," Ivan
Petrovich urged.
The festival is a joint project of the Valery Khalilov
Spiritual Society Association, the Russian National Museum of Music and the
RUSSIA EXPO Directorate and is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the
Russian Federation and the Department of Culture of Moscow.
