- There was a period in Russia when a folklore pit arose. Then a cliché appeared that folk culture is kokoshniks, a bear and a balalaika. But for the last 5-10 years, it has been raining. Like mushrooms, youth folklore groups began to appear. Thousands of children are involved folk culture and Cossack including. I am convinced that it is necessary to educate from the cradle, and I am very glad, looking around and seeing little ones who run around in hats, and grandmothers who pass on some experience to them. It can be seen that this is not violent, but naturally- said the artist.

The security of the event was provided by 10 Cossacks of the Central Cossack Army, who kept order. The festival passed quietly and without any incidents.

One of such organizational formations and manifestations of the people is the Cossacks. The Cossacks keep the tradition of carrying public service to guard the border, protect public order. At the same time, the Cossacks throughout their existence preserved the Russian Orthodox culture, - said the rector of the First Cossack University.

Range musical directions the festival was wide: vocal performers, dance groups, shepherd's horns and even a saxophone. Filipp Antonov, a festival participant, said that, despite the apparent discrepancy between the rhythmic jazz music with the traditions of Orthodox culture, many jazz performers were religious people. Philip took 17th place and received a diploma of the festival participant.

The real discovery of the festival was the horn choir from the city of Nerekhta Kostroma region. A team of five people played on unique homemade shepherd's horns. Art, almost lost in the 20th century, is carefully guarded by the Nerekhta people. Last year they recorded their first album.

The Grand Prix of the musical review-competition "Small towns - the pearls of Russia" was won by the laureate international competitions Nikita Karo.
- Today I sang two songs. One is called "Ataman Dashing", the second is Russian folk song"I'll go outside." I chose these two songs because they are characteristic and expressive. By doing them, you can show acting skills and reveal their vocal abilities, - said the winner.
