​​On November 15, Krasnoyarsk will host the annual festival of ethnic cultures titled "The Living Thread of Traditions." More than 100 performers from different National Cultural Autonomies of the city and the Region will take part in the festivities.​​​

Before the event, interactive platforms will be open in one of the local Palaces of Culture: "Friendship Wreath", as well as a master class on making doll charms. Then a big concert is planned to celebrate the occasion. The programme includes dances and songs of the peoples who live in the multinational capital of the Krasnoyarsk Region.

A Cossack song group was specially invited to the event. The artists will come from the city of Okha in the Sakhalin Region. Krasnoyarsk residents will witness bright vocal numbers and filigree mastery of sabers from maestros of stage flanking and winners of all-Russian competitions and festivals.

The stage will also feature the group "Gypsy Road", the Russian song ensemble "Obereg", the Kyrgyz dance ensemble "Kapelki", the Chuvash folklore ensemble "Dubravushka". The guests will have the opportunity to listen to a magical musical instrument of shamans - the jaw harp performed by soloist Galina Urvanova, as well as throat singing by the student ensemble "Sylydstar" from Tuva.

The Living Thread of Traditions festival is 20 years old this year. It is held within the framework of the municipal programme "Assistance to the Development of Civil Society in Krasnoyarsk". Its goal is to make people with different roots and traditions closer and more tolerant to each other. It should be noted that representatives of more than 100 nationalities live in the regional centre.

— The language of music and dance is universal. It does not require a translator, but is capable of bringing people of different languages, religions, customs and traditions together. I am sure that the guests and participants of the Festival are going to have a great time, - emphasized Lyubov Sakharova, Head of the Main Department of Culture.
