Young artists performed at the Children's Hospice within the Musical Olympus Festival frameworks

On May 30 the Musical Olympus Foundation held a concert for patients of the St. Petersburg Children's Hospice. The children were visited by young artists: Anastasia Subrakova (violin), Mikhail Shaffartsik (violin) and Konstantin Klochin (accordion). They performed classical and Russian folk works, as well as their own compositions. The performance was joined by a young patient of the hospice, Gavrila. He is just ten years old. Gavrila played the keyboard for the participants and guests of the concert, and also sang Ave Maria. Gavrila was accompanied by his teacher, accordionist Konstantin Klochin. At the end of the concert the artists and audience together performed a song from the ‘Gena the Crocodile’ cartoon – ‘Let the pedestrians run clumsily over puddles’ and the Foundation members presented young patients with classical music discs of the Musical Olympus Festival.
