Concert "South of Russia. Premiere Marathon" was held at the RUSSIA EXPO
On June 13, the Exposition hosted the concert "South of
Russia. Premiere Marathon," featuring creative ensembles from the
republics of Adygea and Kalmykia, the Astrakhan, Volgograd and Stavropol
regions.
Artists from these regions presented their concert programs,
which incorporated traditional cultural elements in a modern interpretation.
They showcased performances highlighting the cultural uniqueness, history and
future prospects of their regions.
To conclude the event, artists from the five regions performed
the final song "Russia — It's Us." This performance included
participation from regional People's Artists and international competition
laureates.
During the all-Russian survey "What does the Motherland begin with?", people across the country are answering this question in their own way, opening up the innermost corners of their souls.
Souvenir nevalyashkas (traditional Russian roly-poly dolls), are attracting particular attention, with guests choosing them for their harmonious combination of Russian colour and traditional Chinese symbols.
Under the guidance of artisans, each guest made an unusual souvenir that can become either a personal talisman or a gift with a special story.
