Russian classics to be played on Zimbabwe's national radio for first time

Residents of the African country will hear works by composers of the early 20th century

With the assistance of TV BRICS and "Orpheus" radio station, residents of the Republic of Zimbabwe will get acquainted with Russian classical music. Classic 263 Radio (92.8 FM, Harare) of the national broadcaster ZBC broadcasts "Reviving the legacy of Russian composers" series. Anton Arensky's opera "Raphael" will open the season of works by authors from the first half of the 20th century, which will be performed on Sundays in the popular "All About Classics" programme.

"In the 'All About Classics' programme, which brings together music by world composers, we are presenting works by Russian authors for the first time. Classical music lovers in Zimbabwe are in for a real treat!"

The population of Zimbabwe will later be able to familiarise themselves with the works of Georgy Katuar, Aleksey Zhivotov, Nikolay Golovanov, Vladimir Deshevov, Alexander Mosolov, Leonid Polovinkin. Poorly preserved recordings were restored from sheet music and performed by Russian choral ensembles accompanied by the Radio Orpheus Symphony Orchestra. All of them became part of the cycle "Reviving the Heritage of Russian Composers".

Irina Gerasimova, General and Artistic Director of the "Russian State Music TV and Radio Centre", recalled the universality of the language of music.

"I am sure that the works created by famous Russian composers of the early 20th century will not leave foreign listeners indifferent. Familiarisation with our musical heritage will further strengthen cultural ties between Russia and Zimbabwe," she believes.

TV BRICS International Project Manager Yulia Nazarkina noted that the media network has been successfully cooperating with the Zimbabwe National Broadcasting Corporation for several years. ZBC TV broadcasts TV BRICS programmes and the ZBC News portal publishes news produced by the media network.

Last year, TV BRICS organised the broadcasting of Orpheus music programmes on the Brazilian radio stations Toda Palavra and Rádio Cultura Brasil.

TV BRICS media network was founded in 2017 on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which was supported by the heads of state at the IX BRICS Summit in China.

TV BRICS combines a 24-hour TV channel and information portal in five languages: Russian, English, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish. TV BRICS media content is published daily by national media partners in 17 countries: Russia, Brazil, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Iran, Argentina, Armenia, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Cuba, Mozambique, Tunisia and Chile. The total technical coverage of the TV BRICS partner network is over 1.5 billion users.

The mission of TV BRICS is to strengthen co-operation between the BRICS+ countries and disseminate objective information about the group's activities. Media network is an official partner of the United Nations and a member of the Organising Committee for preparing and securing Russia's chairmanship in the BRICS association in 2024.

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"

Vladimir Putin

President of the Russian Federation

"This forum, which has brought together leading representatives of the business communities of our country and the ASEAN member states in the hospitable capital of Tatarstan, Kazan, is of particular importance. This year marks the 35th anniversary of Russia–ASEAN relations. During this period, we have accumulated substantial experience in multifaceted cooperation, established strong ties, including between the Association’s Business Advisory Council and the Russia–ASEAN Business Council, and created a solid foundation for the future"
