XIII Moscow Easter Festival

Russia’s key and eagerly anticipated XIII Moscow Easter Festival will run from 20 April to 9 May 2014 with the support of the Moscow City Government, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation. The geographic scale of this music forum will be impressive in itself, breaking all records of previous years. For the first time, the festival will traverse the entire country. Moreover, the grand opening at the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire will be preceded by a series of pre-festival concerts in the Russian regions.

We would like to invite you to attend the press conference where Artistic Director of the Moscow Easter Festival Valery Gergiev will present the programme of the thirteenth festival. These press conferences have become an integral part of the festival’s traditions, with maestro Gergiev speaking about the theme, the participants and the festival’s key events. The press conference will take place on 28 February at 15:00 in the White Hall of the Moscow City Government (13 Tverskaya Street).

Taking part will be representatives of the XIII Festival’s general sponsors and information partners. Mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin, Culture Minister of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky, His Holiness Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu are also due to attend.
