The ensemble took part in Alexander Oleshko’s anniversary concert

The title of the concert, which took place on October 11, 2026, at the State Kremlin Palace, can be considered the motto of the entire life and work of today’s honoree — the famous Russian theatre and film actor, TV presenter, singer, parodist, theatre teacher, and People’s Artist of the Russian Federation, Alexander Oleshko.

At Alexander Oleshko’s anniversary concert, a whole galaxy of stars gathered on the main stage of the country, creating a true celebration of art — the concert programme seamlessly combined pop classics, jazz, folk dance, and children’s creative works.
