The message reads, in part:
“Created by a brilliant constellation of virtuoso musicians, conductors and music educators, your renowned orchestra has added a unique page to the history of Russian and international musical art. It is noteworthy that you have preserved and expanded the inimitable integrity and wonderful creative traditions of many generations of your predecessors, demonstrating your commitment to noble creative ideals and values.
As in previous years, you continue to captivate audiences with your masterly performances and rich repertoire, as well as your remarkable and inspired use of various folk musical instruments.
It is also extremely important that you dedicate a great deal of time to educating the next generation of talented musicians.”
