The message reads, in part:
“Over the past years, your festival gained broad popularity and became a real holiday for residents and guests of Sevastopol and Crimea. Its creative space brings together renowned virtuosos and talented young people and is rightfully known for its established traditions, rich and diverse programme, and colourful and impressive premieres, as well as, of course, a special and inspiring atmosphere reigning on the stage.
I am confident that the current festival will be a success and the audience will enjoy the pleasure of encountering with high art.”
