FEEDBACK OF THE PARTICIPANTS

Yuliya Kosheleva (Ufa)

«Within 10 days, they managed to restore my blind adoration for music, in the finest sense of this word. To crown it all, I realized that there are many music lovers, not just a couple of people. And everyone has their own point of view and their preferences. Formulating a wise summary, as beautiful as Mozart music at the end of the event, I can say: the educational program and Diaghilev Festival gave me a perfect chance to remember why I took up music and rediscover that I am not alone in my love for art».
