Performance by the Ensemble in the village of Razdolnoye

Razdolnoye – a settlement of urban type in the north-west of steppe Crimea – became the next point in the big tour of the Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance of the National Guard Troops of the Russian Federation under the direction of the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor, People's Artist of Russia, Major General Viktor Eliseev. The concert of the famous collective took place in the House of Culture of the settlement on June 17, 2021.

The auditorium of the House of Culture, which was designed for 500 spectators, could not accommodate all the visitors. The event organizers had to set up 70 additional seats for spectators.

The concert program featured well-known and beloved works from the Great Patriotic War: "The Artillerymen's March" (T. Khrennikov, V. Gusev), "The Frontline Chauffeur's Song" (B. Mokrousov, B. Laskin), and a suite based on soldiers' songs.

The audience especially liked the songs: "For the distant outskirts" (N. Budashkin, G. Akulov) performed by the ensemble's leading soloist, Honored Artist of Russia Natalia Eliseeva and Russian folk song "Along the Peter's" performed by Honored Artist of Russia Victor Gromov.

The ensemble's ballet group showcased the original dance "Zolotaya Khokhloma" (directed by Honored Artist of Russia P. Kovalev) and the vocal and choreographic composition "Kalinka" (directed by People's Artist of Russia A. Radyuk, with musical arrangement by Honored Artist of Russia A. Mazanov).

The concert ended with the song "Farewell, Slavonic" (by V. Agapkin and A. Fedotov), performed by the choir and orchestra to prolonged applause from the audience.

The Head of the Administration of the Razdolnensky District of the Republic of Crimea, Andrey Zakharov, the Head of the Razdolnensky District Council of the Republic of Crimea, Zhanna Khutorenko, and the Chairman of the Razdolnensky Village Council and Head of the Administration of the Razdolnensky Village Settlement, Pavel Chernyavsky, expressed their gratitude to the ensemble.

The next concert of the Academic Ensemble of Song and Dance 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, will take place in the Hero City of Sevastopol.
