An annual city-wide holiday is celebrated in Moscow on September 1. The grandiose City of Music festival, which will be held in the renovated Sokolniki Park, is timed to coincide with this event.
The opening ceremony of the City of Music holiday, prepared in the style of international film festivals, will take place at 12 noon at the main entrance to Sokolniki Park. It is worth noting that visiting numerous events of the celebration is absolutely free.
The rich program of the largest art festival in Moscow includes thematic exhibitions, interactive creative presentations, exciting quizzes and informative master classes with a variety of topics.
During the holiday, the Berezka stage will become a stage for a costume ball, in which everyone can take part. A silhouette artist will work on Fontannaya Square not far from the tent with amazing "singing" harps.
From 4 pm, the main stage of the park is at the disposal of the famous chamber orchestras of the capital, talented singers and instrumentalists. Soloists of the Moscow Musical Theater "Helikon-Opera" will present their program.
