Mikhail Finberg said that “the first night of a new programme devoted to the 80^th anniversary of V.Korotkevich will take place on November 1^st”. It is also planned to hold a new festival of Belarusian poetry and song called “In Minsk”. Its programme will consist of three parts – the first will be devoted to V. Korotkevich, second – to E. Zaritski, while the third – to foreign Belarusian music.

The professor also informed that soon they will hold the 22^nd Festival of Jazz and the 6^th festival “All-Time Hit”. The latter will include 4 programmes: R.Pauls, D.Tukhmanov, “Chanson in Minsk” and “Favorite Film Songs”. “We have already held 117 festivals in small towns of Belarus. We have fostered a new listener in these towns,” emphasized Mikhail Finberg.

The maestro added that this season some new musicians who graduated from Belarusian Academy of Music have joined the orchestra. “We work in a friendly creative atmosphere,” he stressed.

Talking about the creative development of the Concert Orchestra, Mikhail Finberg emphasized that “we were the first who received the title of the National Concert Orchestra. We are one of Belarus’ trademarks”.
