Welcome address of the President of the Russian Federation
Dear friends,
I am glad to welcome you at the Seventeenth Spasskaya Tower International Military Music Festival.
This powerful, world-class artistic production has successfully pursued its path of becoming the most impressive project in the field of international humanitarian cooperation as well as one of the most ambitious and entertaining spectacles of Russia’s cultural life.
Set against the backdrop of the ancient walls of the Moscow Kremlin, as well as unfolding in the city parks and gardens, this unmatched celebration of music features a remarkable lineup of the world’s most gifted artists. Bringing together military bands, dance teams and folklore ensembles, the Festival is a cutting-edge experience renowned for its atmosphere of joy and mighty spirit.
I would like to emphasize the extensive charitable program that is being implemented along this year’s Festival run. Supporting the families of those taking part in the Special Military Operation and making an art space just for the youngest visitors are a few examples.
The Seventeenth Spasskaya Tower Festival will undoubtedly live up to its high standards of excellence and leave a lasting impression on its guests and participants.
All the best and success to you.
Vladimir Putin
