12,000 young talents from Pridvinye took part in the regional competition "Hello, World!"

The regional stage of the II Republican Children's Creativity Review "Hello, World!" has concluded, with all districts of the region participating. Boys and girls, young men and women had the opportunity to showcase their talents in pop and choral singing, instrumental music, choreography, and theatrical arts... Contestants were evaluated in 9 nominations. For the first time this year, fashion theaters took part in the project, with young models appearing on stage in outfits created by aspiring designers and craftswomen. Both solo performers and groups "delegated" from secondary schools, lyceums, and institutions of additional education for children and youth could express themselves. A total of 12,000 children and teenagers from the Vitebsk region wished to say their "Hello, World!".

The best of the best, who passed the preliminary selection in cities and districts, performed at the final concert on the stage of the regional philharmonic. This included nearly 400 students and 23 exemplary artistic creativity groups of various orientations. In this kaleidoscope, every young star wanted to shine brighter than all the others, so each performance was distinct and had its own "highlight." Here, one could see a dancing brass band, a violinist's ballet and music, hear sacred choral singing, and much more.

On the second floor of the philharmonic, young artists and craftspeople showcased their work – an exhibition of fine arts and decorative and applied arts was displayed there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To conclude the celebration, participants whose performances were the most outstanding were awarded diplomas of I and II degrees. Among them are the dance ensemble "Ramónki", solo vocalists Mikhail Moskalev and Ulyana Ryzhova, the fashion theater "Nash Stil" (all are pupils of the Vitebsk Regional Palace of Children and Youth), the Novopolotsk choir "Zvonkiye Golosa", young singers Daria Litovchik and Alexander Malashenko from the Orsha region, "Ozorniye Lozhkari" representing Polotsk, and many others.

However, the jury of the republican review competition has not yet determined which of these talents from the Dvina region will reach the final and travel to Minsk at the end of March for the final gala concert. But one thing is clear – a whole constellation of talents is growing in our region.
