The Victory Museum hosted a large festive concert “Songs about Victory” with the participation of the winners of the “Main Children’s Songs” project.
“I sang the song “Don’t Forget.” This song is not only about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, but also about modern ones. Victory Day means a lot to me. My great-grandfather Ivan Prokofiev went through the whole war, I am very proud of him. When I perform this song, I think about him,” said Kirill Tomilin, a concert participant and winner of the “Main Children’s Songs” project.
“On Victory Day, I would like to wish my peers never to forget about those thanks to whom we live today!” – he added.
“I wrote the music for my song “Candle of Memory” myself,” said the winner of the “Main Children’s Songs” project, Ksenia Pavlova.
“This song is about what our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers had to endure, and about what is happening now, about those military men who are now fighting for our Motherland. It is a great honor for me to perform my new song on Victory Day at the Victory Museum,” she emphasized.
In the majestic Hall of Generals, together with professional artists, young performers from the Neina Children’s Variety Studio, the group “Fidgets” and other participants in the “Main Children’s Songs” project performed. Compositions about Victory, courage and love for the Motherland were performed from the stage.
The creative project of the Victory Museum “Main Children’s Songs” discovered many talented authors – poets and composers. Together they created new children’s songs about the most important things: family, friendship, love for their country and respect for its heroic past and present.
Thousands of young vocalists wanted to sing about true values in life. Since the founding of the project, over three thousand boys and girls from all regions of Russia have taken part in it.
Many of the project’s songs became real hits. For example, the compositions “Shoulder to Shoulder”, “Letter to a Soldier”, “Don’t Forget”. “I’m a Russian” and others. Millions listen and sing to them. They are heard on the Yandex Music and VKontakte platforms and top the children’s music charts. The project’s songs are presented in three music collections and in an animated series.
The “Main Children’s Songs” project is being implemented by the Victory Museum with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. Project partners: State Fund for Support of Participants in the Special Military Operation “Defenders of the Fatherland”, radio station “Children’s Radio”, TV channel “Cartoon and Music”.
All the songs of the project, as well as the animated series of the same name, can be found on website.
