The viewers of the channel will appreciate the famous Meditation from the opera Thais by Jules Massenet as read by virtuoso violinist Sergey Pospelov and Escamillo's well-known couplets from the opera Carmen performed by soloist Dmitry Cheblykov.

The concert was attended by diplomats and business people from the BRICS countries and the African continent. Vicente de Jesus Manuel, Minister Counsellor at the Embassy of the Republic of Mozambique in the Russian Federation, shared his impressions: "Music is part of the country's culture. You can use music to tell people a lot, regardless of whether the listener is African, Latin American or Asian. It is a universal language that everyone can understand".

In turn, the Chargé d'Affaires of the Federative Republic of Brazil in the Russian Federation noted that in his country they love Russian classical music: "Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev... We know and listen to the works of Russian composers".

The Minister Plenipotentiary of the Embassy of the Republic of South Africa in the Russian Federation Tandive Mgkswati also praised the concert: "It's delightful and very emotional! For me, as someone who is really in love with classical music, this performance is one of the best I have ever heard".

The concert on the night of 31 December will be broadcast live on TV BRICS and on "Prodvizhenie", a partner of TV BRICS in Russia. Beautiful music will put guests in a New Year's mood and provide an unforgettable festive atmosphere.
