"The Children's Symphony Orchestra of Atomic Cities is
our pride, because we were able to unite talented children from different
atomic cities and create a bright band with a subtle sense of beauty. Many
thanks to these young professionals. And, of course, endless gratitude to our
artistic director Yuri Bashmet: thanks to a miraculous meeting with him, our
talented musicians are growing and the project itself is successfully
developing. And together with our wonderful conductor Freddy Cadena, music
simply comes to life," said Oksana Konysheva, head of the Rosatom Cultural
