It is noted that the event took place within the framework of the VII festival "Tchaikovsky. Reloaded", dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the memory of the composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky and the 320th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg.
"Music and art are the language of peace and unity, and I am grateful to the wonderful musician Matthias Moosdorf for coming at this time, taking part in the concert and helping to build cultural bridges between countries, especially between Germany and Russia," Roscongress quotes the festival's artistic director Hans-Joachim Frei as saying.
In May, the famous German organist and conductor Leo Kremer performed at the Dmitri Shostakovich St. Petersburg Philharmonic.
