For us it is extremely important that they are not limited to scenes of concert halls, and perform on democratic stages, interact with other musicians around the world. This interaction, exchange of musical experiences, joint experiments is very important way not only to “tell about us”, but also to enrich own culture and leave our mark on the music of other countries,” Reydzhin Stokes, deputy culture attaché at the US Embassy in Ukraine, said.
