This concert is really special because it was to commemorate Victory day on the 9th of May. Tons of old people turned up .Most of the people bought tickets but Olga got her son, Ira, me and Lilia in for free.
There was a singer from Saint Petersburg, 2 choirs ( boys and girls ) and the orchestra. In the programme, there was a piece of paper folded a certain way such that they are sturdy enough without the envelops. As the music and the voices merged , I could feel the strong emotions in the air as everyone stood up as a sign of respect to those who had sacrificed their life for Russia.
There is something special about russian songs about war that is extremely moving.......
