About the project
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs proposed creative idea of the project and the Moscow State Tchaikovsky Conservatory with the support of Russkiy Mir Foundation implements it since late 2023.

Тhe project provides charity concerts and master classes held abroad by postgraduate students, students, and alumni of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, as well as the prize-holders of top-ranked international competitions, outside of Russia.
The concert program and selection of participants are focused primarily on promoting the music of great Russian composers, the creative legacy of Russian writers, and the performance of vocal compositions in Russian language - operas, romances, and folk songs.

The international audience, including diplomats, government officials from ministries and agencies, representatives of educational institutions and cultural organizations, students, and ordinary citizens, warmly welcomes the performers, and the concerts end with standing ovation.
In view of the high rank of the Russian music scene, the professionalism of Russian performers, and the prospects for talented international musicians to study in Russia, the master classes conducted by the project participants are of great interest to young international musicians.
