The stage of the National Centre RUSSIA hosted a concert featuring saxophonist Veronika Kozhukharova, a star of the new generation of Russian virtuoso instrumentalists, and Japanese organist Hiroko Inoue, a soloist of the Kaliningrad Regional Philharmonic and laureate of international competitions.

The audience appreciated the unusual combination of two musical instruments: the saxophone and the organ. All musical pieces were accompanied by choreographic performances by Alla Dukhova's ballet Todes, with the multimedia component of the show becoming the main surprise. Light and video effects created vivid and dynamic digital imagery for each composition, immersing the audience in profound reflections on timeless themes such as relationships between men and women, the inner struggle of a person for their place in the world, and more.

"The organ and saxophone worked together beautifully, but what impressed me the most was how well the video content was chosen. It complemented the music perfectly—truly touching. Honestly, some performances moved me to tears. Thank you for this incredible experience, this amazing show," shared Alexandra Platunova, an audience member.

Many guests attended the concert with their children. Thanks to the multimedia effects, even the youngest viewers stayed engaged, closely following everything happening on stage.

"It was so beautiful; I really liked the concert! What I loved most were the dances and the pictures they showed on the screen—they were so unusual!" said seven-year-old Katya.

Many attendees shared that this concert was their first time hearing the sound of an organ. Hiroko Inoue brought a unique instrument to the National Centre RUSSIA, crafted specifically for her by a Russian master.

"I'm in awe of Veronika — she's an amazing saxophonist, but I always knew that. Hiroko, however, was a true revelation. I can't imagine how it's possible to play such pieces on the organ. Especially 'The March of the Builders of Communism' — simply incredible!" said Yevgeniya Samsonova.
