The second festival of Slavic musical creativity "Sarrey Voices - 2025".
Organised by the Russian School and Choir in Guildford and partners.
Last year we started a new project for us, "Voices of Surrey". The idea was to popularize the musical creativity of the Slavic peoples. We invited all musical and dramatic groups living in England and other countries to the festival. We offered not only to perform at the festival, but also to take part in a competition for young performers under 18 years of age.
Last year we organised a competition in three categories: musical drama, choirs and piano. This year we are inviting violinists as well.
We still believe that everyone should be rewarded for the work that participants put into becoming musicians. That's why we have prepared memorable awards for everyone. And there are cash prizes for the participants of the competitions!
