The major idea of 22nd International Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk Arts Festival is the unity of Slavonic cultures and nations. As is traditional, before the opening and after the closing of the festival solar concerts of star performers will be hosted by the Summer Amphitheatre.
Major traditional events of the festival will be preserved: opening and closing gala-concerts, concerts of art masters from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and the Union State and Vitebsk-2013 International Pop Song Performers Contest, as well as international children musical contest, the Day of Youth, theatrical and cinema projects and separate creative events.
At present, negotiations are underway on the participation of famous performers from various countries in the opening gala-concert. The programme of the festival also includes a concert of the National Academic Concert Orchestra of Belarus (under the leadership of Mikhail Finberg), involving popular performers. Moreover, it’s planned to organise various events during festive days: a holiday of folk crafts — Town of Masters, an open regional holiday of traditional weaving — Linen Lacings, Belarusian Farmstead holiday, a trade fair of the produce of Vitebsk and Belarusian manufacturers, concerts of popular performers, amateur bands on the city’s stage grounds.
The 22nd International Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk Arts Festival will be held from July 11-15th.
