The conceptual framework of this grandiose idea will be outlined in the continuation by the creators of the Big Concert and representatives of the extensive team of organizers – visionary director Papa Chi and musician, producer Arstarulsmirus.

How would you describe the message of this big event – what do you want to convey to the audience?

Papa Chi: Before Arstarulsmirus speaks, I will warm him up (laughing). Thinking about this project, I would not say that it was my idea or someone’s special idea to create something new. fish. From my point of view, I would say that this is a reaction to the current demand. And from the musicians themselves. Obviously there are some pores to be filled with this concerto, that’s how I read it.

Arstarulmirus: What are these pores?
