Reviews:

"We really liked the concert, which was organized by the students of the Gnessin Academy. The concert was dedicated to the music of different nations of the world. I really liked the jazz with the participation of saxophonists and flamenco music performed on the guitar. We were amazed by the skill of playing music and mastering the instruments!" Grade 8 students

“We really liked the concert. The students of Gnesinka demonstrated excellent command of the instruments. The music was lively and fun and the atmosphere was that of spring. I especially liked the dombra and the harp. After all, it is very difficult to play on it, as there are many strings and pedals to press. Great concert" Andrey K., Sergey K., Grade 7
