The story

Festival of National Musical Instruments of the Peoples of Russia in Stavropol

The All-Russian Festival-Review of National Musical Instruments of the Peoples of Russia is a touring event that has visited Irkutsk, Petrozavodsk, Izhevsk, and Stavropol, showcasing folk instruments and ensembles from across the country's regions. Its Stavropol edition drew performers from twelve regions in ethnic dress, alongside an exhibition of hundreds of traditional instruments, masterclasses, and a closing gala concert.

Russia's regional folk-instrument traditions rarely get to share a single stage, scattered as they are across a country spanning eleven time zones, which is exactly the gap the All-Russian Festival-Review of National Musical Instruments of the Peoples of Russia has set out to close.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This festival's distinguishing feature is its touring format: rather than anchoring permanently to one city, the event moves annually between different Russian regions, having already stopped in Siberia at Irkutsk, in the north at Petrozavodsk, in the Volga-Urals region at Izhevsk, and in the North Caucasus at Stavropol

02

The mystery stays covered

That rotation gives each edition a genuinely different regional character, since the ensembles, instruments, and performing traditions on display shift with the host region's own musical heritage

03

The city starts moving

Backed by the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, the festival carries a level of institutional support that has let it assemble displays of remarkable scale, in one edition presenting 380 individual instruments at a single exhibition
