Amur Waves Military Music Festival in Khabarovsk
Amur Waves is understood to be a military and brass band music festival held in Khabarovsk, named after the well-known Russian waltz Amurskie Volny composed by Max Kyuss around 1909. Confirmation of the festival's current format, founding year and organizer could not be completed this session.
Amurskie Volny, or Amur Waves, is a waltz composed by Max Kyuss, a bandmaster active in the Russian Far East in the early twentieth century, and it became one of the standard pieces in the Russian and later Soviet military band repertoire, performed at public concerts, parades and ceremonial occasions for well over a century.
