Since 2012, within the framework of the Musical Olympus international festival, charity concerts have been held for people who are in difficult life situations and are physically unable to visit concert halls. In 2021, due to quarantine restrictions, it became possible to conduct only one program, prepared in cooperation with the Elena Obraztsova Cultural Center, which took place on May 27 at the House of War Veterans N2.

Daniel Barenboim's master class took place today at the Rachmaninov Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. The maestro devoted 3 hours of his precious time to working with students.

The festival "Musical Olympus" in St. Petersburg is going to happen! The festival will go on for 4 days and the program will include both new and well-known artists.

We wish good luck to all participants and are very happy to finally meet everyone offline!
