The honor of opening this season is given to the renowned balalaika octet "Vitebsk Virtuosos" under the direction of Honored Artist of Belarus Tamara Shafranova.

Under the unique performance of "Vitebsk Virtuosos," soloist of the National Academic Grand Opera and Ballet Theatre of Belarus, Belarusian State Academic Musical Theatre, laureate of international competitions Andrey Morozov (baritone) and soloist of the Vitebsk Regional Philharmonic Oksana Novikova (soprano) will perform, who will present ancient Russian romances, folk songs, and Neapolitan compositions.

Thus, young audiences will once again meet the "FaSolka Invites" project, and expectant mothers will be invited to the "Weaving a Soul from Notes" concerts. A cycle of organ music concerts will also be held. "The Philharmonic remains true to its concept: to popularize classical music. This is clearly evident in any concert of the current season. At the same time, we have tried to make each of them as interesting as possible for our audience," concluded Nelly Matsaberidze. -0-
