Classica in the Mountains Festival in Sayanogorsk
In the rock amphitheater of Sayanogorsk's Mramorka extreme park, Classica in the Mountains pairs classical and popular music performances with the natural acoustics of surrounding stone formations and mountain air. Spanning three days each June and drawing on the creative resources of Sayanogorsk, Shushenskoye, and Yermakovskoye districts, the interregional festival mixes vocal performances, covers of well-known songs, chef-prepared food, and interactive zones for visitors of all ages.
There is a particular kind of magic to hearing a trained voice carry across bare rock and mountain air with no need for heavy amplification, and that is precisely the effect organizers of Classica in the Mountains have built their festival around.
