“I am glad that every year we receive convincing evidence that our beloved city needs this festival, that Muscovites and guests of our capital love and are very much waiting for it. For me, the festival in Moscow is very expensive. And every year we try to make it truly special, to fill it with unique events,” says Maestro Bashmet.
