I would like to note that in addition to the pleasure of performing on the stage of the cozy Cultural Center, the Phonograph music collective, which I have the honor to lead, is connected with the Center's employees by long-term friendship, fruitful cooperation and the kindest relations. In addition, we are lucky to be and work in the same building with the staff of the Cultural Center, who supports us in all our endeavors, takes care of us and helps us overcome difficulties along the way.
