The ensemble took part in the “Main Children’s Songs” project

To educate through music, to foster a sense of patriotism in today’s children, to instill in them respect for the history of their country, to instill in them an understanding of the enduring moral significance of such concepts as the Motherland, honour, friendship, and family, to open the way for young talents, and to help build a “bridge” between different generations of Russians — all these goals are pursued by the all‑Russian creative project “Main Children’s Songs”. The project is implemented by the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. The “Main Children’s Songs” project brings together talented children, contemporary authors, musicians, vocalists, and representatives of the creative industries to create new domestic musical content that combines traditional Russian values with modern trends in musical art.
