The large-scale State of the Union project featured masterpieces by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. The Belarusian-Russian Youth Orchestra performed the Neapolitan song, the overture to the opera "The Queen of Spades" and the polonaise from the opera "Eugene Onegin". Maestro Yuri Bashmet is in the winner's stand. There are almost 100 musicians on stage, and about 1800 spectators in the hall - a full house. Our special reporter Yekaterina Slavyanskaya followed the musical evening.
