OUR FESTIVALS

The Harvest International Festival

A large-scale World Music festival has been taking place in many parts of Moscow for 5 years. The former royal estate of Kolomenskoye, the roof of the ArtPlay art block, a tour-boat on the Moskva river etc are among the Harvest Festival venues.

Over 50 performers from more than 30 countries took part in the Harvest Festival. Thousands of people visited it over the years.

The festival's musical geography introduced its guests to different national musical traditions – from Argentina to the Netherlands, from the Buryat Republic to Norway.

IRISH WEEK

A big project which started when we first organised St. Patrick's Day celebration in Russia. Ever since this event was established in 2011, Irish Week has been the most prominent and large-scale events dedicated to the cultural traditions of Ireland. Here are the Irish Week events: Irish film screenings, music festivals, concerts, exhibitions, lectures, theatrical performances, activities for children and a lot more.

Ivan Kupala (St. John the Baptist) Festival

Ivan Kupala (St. John the Baptist's) Day was a traditional Slavic holiday, which coincides with a Christian holiday. For 10 years, the Veresk foundation organized a big folk culture festival in a variety of formats on this day – in both open areas and popular concert halls. The festival told the history of our people through songs, dances, and fire shows. The music program of the Ivan Kupala Festival included various artists – from rock stars with sellout crowds to those who were only at the beginning of their career so the festival was a great chance for them to perform in front of a large audience. Festival's musical genres varied from rock to folk music and was tightly connected with traditional Slavic culture in terms of visual, musical and lyrical elements.
