11 March, 2026

Guests at the Days of Russian Culture will enjoy a unique Russian project Symphony of Innovations – a multimedia concert featuring innovative solutions. The performance focuses on a dialogue between outstanding musical geniuses of the past – Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, and Sergei Prokofiev – and 21st-century innovations, demonstrating how cutting-edge technologies can go hand in hand with cultural heritage.

The Russian premiere of the show took place on 4 July 2025, in Moscow, at the State Academic Maly Theater of Russia. It was also presented in St. Petersburg.

The Symphony of Innovations will be presented in Belarus for the first time. On the stage of the Palace of the Republic, Belarusian audiences will witness a performance by a robot conductor and live artists and hear familiar Russian classical works performed by AI holograms. The combination of classical music and latest achievements in technology offers a new perspective on the rich musical heritage of our country and sparks widespread interest among audiences, especially young people, far beyond Russia’s borders.

The concert will be accompanied by the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Ivan Rudin. Leading Russian soloists, including winners of international and national competitions, will enter the stage: Dmitry Masleev (piano), Vasily Stepanov (cello), Alexander Klyuchko (piano), Arseny Tarasevich-Nikolaev (piano), Mikhail Usov (violin), Polina Shabunina (soprano), and Gleb Peryazev (bass).

In addition, on 18 March, a special theme-based exhibition, Dialogue of Art and Technology, will be open in the foyer of the Palace of the Republic for guests of the evening. It will explore the lives of the great Russian composers whose works are featured in the Symphony of Innovations. The display includes animated portraits, visuals of theater productions, and stories that changed the world of music.
