On April 13 the International RUSSIA EXPO held a presentation of the "World of Guitar" festival, which will be held in Kaluga from May 27 to 31.

"World of Guitar" is a unique phenomenon in the cultural life of Russia and a musical brand of the Kaluga region. The festival has been held since 1998, its participants are world stars. Every year in the last week of May musicians of all styles and directions united by one single impulse - love to guitar art - come to Kaluga from all over the world for five days. Over the years, the festival has welcomed musicians from 45 countries of the world.

Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements "Russia"», addressed the guests of the presentation with a welcoming speech.

"The two artists who are performing today - Roman Miroshnichenko and Alexei Kuznetsov - are unique Russian performers of whom we can be proud, who are known throughout the world. Guitar in Russia is the soul. Today we will see and hear its best manifestation. So I want to express my deep gratitude to our performers and to the Kaluga region for this festival - in my opinion, the best guitar festival in the world. And today we have a unique opportunity to listen to one of the concerts," said Natalia Virtuozova.
