On the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, the Far Eastern
Academic Symphony Orchestra performed the musical-poetic composition
"Requiem. Eternal Glory to the Heroes" based on the eponymous poem by
Robert Rozhdestvensky set to music by Kuzma Bodrov on the Main Stage of the

"Requiem. Eternal Glory to the Heroes" is a

generations, urging them to remember the fallen heroes and cherish peace.
"Today, the Far Eastern Academic Symphony Orchestra — a

the RUSSIA EXPO, we are performing a significant piece dedicated to the

great honor for our collective to perform at such a grand event as the Exposition,"
said Alexander Veretennikov, Artistic Director of the Khabarovsk Regional
Philharmonic.
