 Russians Songs

What is Baltijsk at the beginning of a new Millennium? A city of culture and folk traditions? Indeed, it is.

The Fair of Local Producers is worthy of your attention. The city enterprises presenting their produce took part. Bakery produce, sweets and culinary cookies from local cafes, nice and bright soft toys, hats from the local hatter, equipment for shop window design and other goods were presented. But the most unforgettable and bright show was the performance of musical groups of the House of Culture. The participants and the guests of the city were greeted by clowns. The guests of the holiday took part in different shows, games and contests.

The Russian song

"The music inspires the whole world, gives the soil the wings, promotes the flight. Music gives life and joy to all beings... It could be called the incarnation of everything that is beautiful and sublime." These Plato's words wonderfully suit the activity of the ensemble of the Russian song «Soudarushka». The brilliant group loves Russian songs, keeps the best traditions of folk singing. For the first time the dwellers of Baltijsk had a chance to meet the group «Soudarushka» 15 years ago. Bright emotional concerts don't keep the public indifferent. The catching repertoire, their best singing skills are the group's greeting card. The group takes part in allround city and region celebrations. Among their songs are heartfelt folk songs such as "Ryabina" (Rowan), joyful Cossack song "Shashku beri!" (Take the sabre!), lyrical and folk songs, composed by the members of the group. The singers perform their songs with profound passion.
