The President’s message of congratulations reads, in particular:
“The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra has been a recognised centre of musical culture throughout all the years of its history. It has always been filled with creative spirit and love for its art and has lovingly preserved the best traditions of the Russian school of performance.
The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra continues to carry out its noble mission of education and humanism today, and the ideas of its founders live on in the work of today’s team of like-minded thinkers. The orchestra continues to be home both to world-renowned stars and to beginning performers. Your concert programmes and festivals enrich the palette of our cultural life and are enduringly successful both here in Russia and abroad”.
