"In a couple of days our masters will begin a series of masterclasses in Kazakhstan's Petropavlovsk, in mid-March, with the support of Rossotrudnichestvo, we plan to hold preliminary auditions in Astana. In July, the next and already traditional "GITIS School" will take place on Issyk-Kul. We sent Lika Rulla's course to the international theater festival in New Delhi. And this is only a small part of our projects for 2024," said Grigory Zaslavsky.
Director General of the Dagestan Dance Ensemble "Lezginka" Dzhambulat Magomedov made a report "Support of National Collectives and the Implementation of the 'We are Russia' Federal Program", which, according to him, gives tangible support to creative teams.
"The RUSSIA EXPO, where all regions are represented on one territory, is the perfect place to talk about culture and geographical expansion. Here we see the greatness of our country. First of all, I want to thank our leader Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for supporting the traditional national culture of the Russian Federation. And I would certainly like to thank Olga Lyubimova. In the most difficult times, such as, for example, the pandemic, when there the issue about the fate of the ensemble was raised, we saw real help and constructive dialog," emphasized Dzhambulat Magomedov.
Director of the Russian Youth Symphony Orchestra Ilya Repenak spoke about the formation of his ensemble. He noted that the orchestra was established in 2018 on the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin within the framework of the National Project "Culture".
