The district festival of disabled people's creativity "Star of Hope" was held for the sixth time. The event began with a bright exhibition of decorative and applied arts, prepared in the foyer of the district House of Culture.

Melodious chords of songs called everyone to the auditorium of the House of Culture. The head of the department for labor, employment and social protection of the district executive committee, Vasily Ravovoy, addressed all the guests with warm words of welcome.

From the very first chords of the song, the audience was immersed in an artistic whirlwind, where the poignant chords of music and song merged in perfect harmony. Denis Ablavushka, a well-known performer in our district who has repeatedly won prizes at regional festivals and competitions, admitted that he has a cherished dream – to perform all the songs from Stas Mikhailov's repertoire. Denis presented two songs to the audience, which left no one indifferent.

The audience also warmly welcomed the performance of Sergey Asousky, who performed two songs with a guitar – "Orange Sun" by D. Maidana and "Bullfinches" by V. Trofimov.

The audience did not spare warm applause for our guests from Senno. Sergey Nazarov greeted the audience with cheerful song chords. "Everything is not by chance" – this was the title of the poem, which Veronika Baranovskaya read excellently. Together with her friend Irina Demeshchik, Veronika performed a song about friendship. An organic addition to the stage action was the performance of Ilya Senatarov. Valentina Kisel read wonderful poems dedicated to Lepel. The Day of the Great Victory. The last poem was written by the poet Anatoliy Bulytenka. The audience did not spare warm applause when the participants of the folk music ensemble "Play, Accordion!" took the stage. The ensemble members are multiple laureates of the "Care" and "Play, Accordion!" festivals. Soloists Gennady and Olga Komarovskie performed a cheerful folk song, and the other ensemble members provided an excellent accompaniment for them. Gennady Matyrko played the accordion, Denis Ablavushka played the tambourine, and Yulia Ramiltsava played the rattle. Later, the amateur musicians were joined by the bayan player Raisa Demko, with whom the piece "Karabeyniki" was wonderfully performed. Amateur artist Galina Grigorovich greeted the audience with a folk song and poems. Alla Veselova's performance, who read a poem about love and the fable "Once upon a time there was a little grey Goat with a Goat...", lifted the audience's spirits. Vasily Safiulin, an amateur singer and a regular guest of the festival, also presented his musical surprises.
