The program "From Moscow to Brest..." will be featured at "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk"
On July 6, Minsk /BelTA/. Veterans of the Great Patriotic War and elderly people will be invited to the Summer Amphitheatre in Vitebsk on July 12 for the program "From Moscow to Brest..." by the National Concert Orchestra of Belarus under the baton of Mikhail Finberg. The artistic project, prepared for the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Belarus from the Nazi invaders, will be performed during the XVIII International Festival of Arts "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk," the orchestra informed BelTA.
This is an opportunity for the elderly to return to their youth, to relive the joy of victories and the bitterness of losses, to remember their loved ones, and simply to sing along with the orchestra's soloists.
The program "From Moscow to Brest..." includes the best front-line songs performed by Utyosov and Shulzhenko, and later by Kobzon, Gurchenko, and Leshchenko. The musicians and performers of the renowned orchestra have prepared a true theatrical costume performance that touches the soul and brings tears to the eyes not only of former front-line soldiers, rear-echelon workers, and children of war. Modern youth will also not remain indifferent to the melodies, which have been beautifully arranged by the orchestra's musicians. And this program serves as patriotism lessons for the younger generation of Belarus, which is confidently marching on the path of independence.
The program will also feature songs that few remember, whose sheet music has not even been preserved. For example, songs from the 1940s that were performed by Eddie Rosner's famous orchestra. New scores have been created for the entire program "From Moscow to Brest...". This project holds special significance for every resident of the country, believes Mikhail Finberg. "Because all of us – both those born immediately after the war and subsequent generations – owe our lives to our great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers who fell on the battlefields, who built a new bright life. Residents of other countries liberated from fascism by Soviet soldiers also owe them. This is what our musical story is about," shared Mikhail Finberg.
Journalists also have a special relationship with this program, as they are well aware of the anthem of war correspondents: "From Moscow to Brest, there is no place where we haven't been. With a camera and a notebook, and sometimes with a machine gun...". -0-
