About Balalaika music:

Balalaika, the traditional Russian musical instrument, is a key to discover the vastness of the Russian land, to understand the Russian soul, and to touch the national culture. Hearts of outstanding Russian geniuses were captivated by the sounds of this wonderful instrument. Balalaika motives can be heard in masterpieces by Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy, and Tchaikovsky.

The charm of balalaika music will be unveiled by “Moon Shines” ("Svetit Mesyatz") orchestra. Started in 2012, the talented artists of "Moon Shines" were honored by several international awards for their concert performance. The orchestra will be accompanied by opera singer Valery Likhachev. He has an amazing repertoire, singing in operas by Verdi, Tchaikovsky, and Mozart in Copenhagen Royal Opera, Bolshoi Theater, Moscow Kremlin Palace, and internationally. Besides, Valeriy is a director of the International Festival "Chance" and leader of the Russian House ("Russisk Hus") in Copenhagen. This closing note of the evening will help you understand the mysterious Russian soul.
