The ensemble performed at the gala evening honoring outstanding Muscovites "Our Youth Has No End"

On September 12, 2020, a gala evening honoring outstanding Muscovites was held at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall in Luzhniki, in accordance with the established tradition.

This is the third time that the event has been held with the support of the Moscow Government and Mayor S.S. Sobyanin. Almost a third of the residents of our capital are people of retirement age. Among them are both native Muscovites and those who have lived in Moscow for several decades and for whom Moscow has long become their home. We are proud of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the participants in the defense of Moscow, the veterans of the labor front, and the scientists, artists, educators, doctors, and cultural figures who have made an invaluable contribution to the prosperity of our capital.

The main guests of the evening "Our Youth Has No End" were not only famous Muscovites, but also people whose contribution to the life of our capital is difficult to overestimate. The event was also attended by members of the State Duma and the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, as well as representatives of government agencies and public organizations.

The festive evening was hosted by popular TV presenters Maria Sittel and Dmitry Guberniev, who read out a welcoming telegram from Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.

Deep gratitude was expressed to the doctors and medical professionals who have made a huge contribution to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

The artistic director of the project, People's Artist of the USSR and Hero of Labor of Russia Vasily Lanovoy, addressed the audience with a welcoming speech.

At the beginning of the festive concert, the following songs were performed: "You, My Russia" (music by Serafim Tulikov, lyrics by Sergey Ostrovoy), "Ah, If Only the Earth Could Speak" (music by Yu.Martynov, lyrics by O.Milyavsky), by Natalia Eliseeva, a soloist of the ensemble and an Honored Artist of Russia, and the choir of the Academic Ensemble of Songs and Dances of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, led by Viktor Eliseev, the artistic director and chief conductor, a People's Artist of Russia and Major General.

The ensemble's ballet group performed the dance composition "Victory Dance." The audience warmly welcomed the artists of the renowned ensemble.

The concert program featured Russian pop and film stars, including Mikhail Nozhkin, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Irina Kupchenko, Lyudmila Nikolaeva, Zara, Jasmine, Anita Tsoi, Nina Shatskaya, and others.

The festive concert ended with the Moscow anthem "My Dear Capital" performed by the concert participants and the choir of the Academic Ensemble of Songs and Dances of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation, led by the artistic director and chief conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev.
