Dear Mr Karabanov,
We’d like to heartily congratulate you on your birthday.

You work is inextricably linked to some of the most important spheres of every country’s existence, being the Navy and music. As the Navy is of outmost importance to the country’s defense while music displays not only its culture but the soul of its people as well. You are a worthy successor of the national music and artistic traditions, with a great contribution into preservation and development of our culture and spiritual heritage, as well as into world’s orchestra classics. Your inexhaustible artistic activities, high-end professionalism and great managing skills have been essential for your years-long success on the helm on the Central Band of the Russian Navy named after Nikolay-Rimskiy Korsakov, one of the best Russia’s music bands that successfully performs both at home and abroad onstage of the best concert halls as well as small military garrisons. Various concerts and music festivals featuring among others the Admiralty Music and Spasskaya Tower Festivals serve both for propagating national culture and patriotic upbringing of the youth.

We are sure that your rich expertise, broad knowledge and high professionalism will be in demand for many years to come and used for the good of the country.

We wish you sound health, family well-being, and big artistic successes in your very important work.
