"The voice. Children " - The ensemble took part in a popular vocal TV show

The music competition "The Voice. Children", in which performers aged 7 to 14 participate, has remained one of the most popular shows on Channel One of Russian television for 10 years.

The 11th season of the TV show started in September 2024. Behind them are 7 episodes of "Blind Auditions" and 3 episodes of "Duels", and today - November 15 - TV viewers saw the only episode of the decisive Additional stage, in which the 3rd finalist of the competition was determined.

At this stage, the Academic Order "For Merit in Culture and Art" Song and Dance Ensemble of the Troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation took part in the vocal TV show under the direction of the artistic director and chief conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev.

Accompanied by the Ensemble choir, a solo performance by 12-year-old Said Galiullin from Kazan, a protégé of Jony's mentor, took place.

The legendary "Smuglyanka" (music by Anatoly Novikov, lyrics by Yakov Shvedov) performed by Said Galiullin and the Ensemble choir became, without exaggeration, the highlight of the competition program and brought the young artist a well-deserved victory in a fair fight with worthy rivals - Alsu Ulukhanova and Alexandra Tatyukhina.

Despite his young age, Said Galiullin is the winner of 36 international and all-Russian competitions, the holder of 12 grand prix, and also — the holder of the Raisa scholarship of the Republic of Tatarstan and several prestigious awards, including the "Artist-Patriot" medal (Sevastopol).

Tens of thousands of viewers watched with excitement the performance of the participants of the additional stage of the music competition live on Channel One. The overwhelming majority (almost 60%!) of them voted for Said Galiullin. However, the most passionate fan was, of course, Said's mother - Elvira Ilgizarovna Salakhova - a teacher at the Children's Art School No. 2 in Kazan, a laureate of the IV All-Russian competition of professional pedagogical performing skills "PRIZVANIE" in the nomination "Vocal performance (academic singing)" in 2023.

Elvira Ilgizarovna is not only Said's mother, but also his teacher, and his brilliant victory today is, of course, her merit!

The Ensemble team congratulates Said Galiullin on his next achievement and wishes him victory in the final of the "Voice. Children" competition, which will take place in a week - on November 22, 2024.
