The Voices of the World International Festival aims to unite children from all over the world through music, dance and creativity. This is a unique opportunity for children from different countries to demonstrate their vocal and choreographic abilities, get acquainted with the musical traditions of the peoples of the world, exchange experiences, attend master classes by leading musical specialists, and also see the sights of Moscow. Participants will be able to participate in the parade and the final Gala concert with pop stars.
“As a person who grew up in that wonderful system of additional education, I understand perfectly well how important it is to pass on this experience to new generations. The forum will feature not only star mentors, but also our students from the Academy. This is a living link between generations. When a child learns the beauty of his native culture through art, when he strengthens his character through sport, this is true patriotism. The Voice of the World is our contribution to the future of Russia,” said MATS President Nikolai Agutin.
The day before, the TASS Press Center hosted a press conference dedicated to the launch of the first International Voice of the World Fest Forum, organized by the International Artistic and Creative Community (MATS). The event was attended by MATS President Nikolai Agutin, Honored Artist of Russia Leonid Agutin, People’s Artist of Russia Diana Gurtskaya, President of the Nikolai Agutin Charitable Foundation Alla Koroleva, General Director of the Grazia Rhythmic Gymnastics Center Anna Kulakova, MATS Director Anastasia Nastasina and the popular group Slava Skripka. The festival will be held in Moscow from July 31 to August 3 and will bring together talented children and young people aged 6 to 23 in the areas of vocal, gymnastics, choreography, and dance. It will also bring together talented children with disabilities. All 89 regions of Russia are participating in the project and participants from 20 countries are expected. The main purpose of the event is to help children realize their creative and athletic potential.
Diana Gurtskaya emphasized: “This project is especially close to me. I know how important it is that you are not just pitied, but given a chance. In my master classes, we will not talk about diagnoses, but about talents. I want every child to leave the festival thinking, “I’ve been heard. I am important.” If at least one participant believes in himself more strongly thanks to Voices of the World, it means that we did everything right.”
The ambassadors of the project included Leonid Agutin, Diana Gurtskaya, Slava Skripka and many honored cultural and artistic figures.
