On July 18, Vitebsk /Olga Bogacheva - BELTA/. The international children's music competition "Vitebsk" at "Slavianski Bazaar" has become a real competitor to the competition for young performers. This opinion was expressed today to a BELTA correspondent by Rodion Bass, Director of the "Vitebsk" Cultural Center, Director of the "Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk" International Arts Festival, at the awards ceremony. "In terms of its spectacle and demand, it has become a real competitor to the adult competition," said Rodion Bass, adding that the issue of holding a gala concert for the children's music competition on the main stage of "Slavianski Bazaar" - the Summer Amphitheatre - is currently being considered. "It deserves it," concluded Rodion Bass. Twenty young performers from 17 countries took part in the anniversary children's music competition. The main award of the competition - the Grand Prix - was won this year by Mariam Bichoshvili from Georgia. Belarusian representatives Liza Muravyova and Evgenia Klepitskaya became laureates of the competition.-0-
