On 4 September, Voronezh Youth Symphony Orchestra performed at the VSU concert hall for the university staff. The tradition to start and finish the academic year with a music concert was launched in 2015. This year the concert was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of VSU.
VSU rector, Dmitry Endovitsky, welcomed the audience and congratulated them on the beginning of a new academic year. The moderator of the concert, as usual, was the art historian, professor Bronislav Tabachnikov. The audience enjoyed the wonderful music programme of the concert conducted by the Honoured Artist of the Russian Federation, maestro Yury Androsov. The programme included the famous overture of Mozart’s opera “Don Juan”, rendering the spirit of pure freedom and independence, the Academic Festival Overture by the great Johannes Brahms, the famous “Kamarinskaya” by Mikhail Glinka, a potpourri of “Autumn Mood”, “Bandit's Gallop”, and “Radetzky March” by Johann Strauss, as well as soundtracks of films 8½ and Pirates of the Caribbean.
