Among the many traditions that have developed in the team of the Academic Order "For Merit in Culture and Art" Song and Dance Ensemble of the Troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev over the half-century of the Ensemble's existence is participation in creative evenings of outstanding representatives of musical culture.

"I love you, life!" was the name of the concert held on October 3, 2024, in the State Kremlin Palace, dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the outstanding pop singer and actor Felix Tsarikati.

"Golden Voice of Russia", "Professional of Russia", "Heritage of Russia", "Voice of the Fatherland" - these are not only the epithets that a huge army of fans have awarded to their favorite singer, but also the names of the medals that (along with the order "Good People of the World") the Honored Artist of Russia, People's Artist of North Ossetia Felix Tsarikati has.

His beautiful baritone is mesmerizing. Felix Tsarikati's creative range is very broad - he can handle a variety of musical genres: opera arias, romances, folk songs, serious patriotic works, songs of Soviet and modern composers.

The song "To Serve Russia" (music by Eduard Khank, lyrics by Ilya Reznik) is not only the official anthem of the Russian "Youth Army", but also (since 2016) the unofficial anthem of all troops of the Russian Federation. Each performance of it evokes strong emotions in the audience. In today's concert, the anthem "To Serve Russia" was performed by Felix Tsarikati, accompanied by the choir of the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Guard.

Participation in a festival dedicated to the composer A. P. Averkin

One of the glorious traditions of Russian musical culture is the annual (since 1997) All-Russian Festival of Folk Art in memory of Alexander Averkin, an Honored Artist of Russia and a composer, held in the Sasovo Municipal District of the Ryazan Region. In 2026, the XXIX All-Russian Festival of Folk Art, dedicated to the composer A.P. Averkin, combines two themes. The main theme of the event is the memory and creative legacy of Alexander Petrovich Averkin, the author of over 800 works that remain popular today. But the fact that this year's festival is being held in the composer's homeland gives it a special significance. Exactly 100 years ago, in the summer of 1926, the village of Sasovo was officially declared a city by the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.
