The festival continues the traditions of the "Vitebsk Renaissance of the early 20th century", carefully preserving and strengthening long-standing musical and artistic traditions, and involving Vitebsk in the tour routes of renowned world performers.

Sollertinsky" and a work by American composer Copland dedicated to Vitebsk were performed at the Vitebsk Philharmonic.

This is how the idea came to Anatoly Savchuk, the director of ODO "Actam", who leased the lake, to stock it with young eels.
