“Without false modesty I can say that auditorium enjoyed our performance,” says Igor Sklyarov. “The hall applauded after every our composition.”
We will also add that the ideal for the chamber music acoustics of the Izumi Hall where the performances took place contributed to that listeners could hear and feel all the nuances of the glass music.
Crystal Trio didn’t come into the number of the competition prize-winners, but the experience performing and creative communication got here appeared to be really priceless.
“Folk music was still preferred on this competition,” Vladimir Perminov shares his impressions. “So, corresponding bands became winners. But we got acquainted with a lot of musicians from various countries. There were Byelorussians, Germans, Englishmen, Americans. With many of them we exchanged the contact information…”
Very important that as a result of the trip there was an agreement about a series of performances in Japan that will take place this autumn.
