Over the years, since it began as a musical celebration, the Moscow Easter Festival has turned into a cultural symbol of national significance. It is a spiritual symbol like the consecration of Holy Easter, a patriotic symbol like Victory Day; and finally for a great many Russians it symbolizes spring, hope and renewal.

This immense Russian musical forum attracts tens of thousands of listeners each year. The Festival, which is meant to reach the widest possible audience, offers programs that range from classical masterpieces to rarely, heard works–all of them performed by the finest artists of the day. Nevertheless, this Easter forum continues its policy of offering tickets at affordable prices and giving a large series of charitable concerts.
