Grand parade of the orchestra of bayanists, accordionists and squeezebox players took place at the RUSSIA EXPO
On June 27, as part of the XXII International Competition of Bayanists "Vivat, Bayan!", a large-scale procession of the combined orchestra of bayanists, accordionists and squeezebox players called "Triumph of the Russian Bayan" took place at the Exposition.
Dozens of musicians marched from the "Stone Flower" fountain to the Main Stage of the Exposition, demonstrating their skills and performing well-known songs. During the procession, the musicians played the famous "Katyusha" and on stage they performed the anthem of the Russian Federation.
"The parade of the orchestra of bayanists, accordionists and squeezebox players is one of the most significant events of the XXII International Competition of Bayanists "Vivat, Bayan!" This event involves 57 regions of our country and musicians from other countries — China, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Bosnia and Herzegovina," said Merited Artist of Russia, musician, composer, producer Sergei Voitenko.
The XXII International Competition of Bayanists "Vivat, Bayan!" started at the Exposition on June 25. This year, the participants will experience eventful competition days in 28 musical categories. The competent jury — professors of Russian and international higher educational institutions of musical profile — will choose the best masters of performing art in younger and older age groups. The competition events will last until June 29.
The President highlighted the importance of preserving the languages, culture and traditions of indigenous peoples, as well as international cooperation in this area.
According to Andrei Melentyev, Russia already has recognisable features that distinguish its architecture.
Russia has designed the PD-8, an entirely domestic engine with imported components fully replaced, which has already been certified and is being prepared for serial deliveries.
