"Dear friends! I am very pleased to greet all the participants and guests of the I Moscow International Harp Competition.
Russian harp school which trained a large pleiad of famous all over the world musicians is now holding its
I International Competition. The main goal of the competition is to promote the careers of our most outstanding
young soloists making them better known to the public.
I sincerely wish great success to all the participants and although only a few will receive prizes nobody
will fail. Participation in the Competition is not only a great opportunity for the player to declare himself
but also is an important stimulus to achieve a high level of the professional artistry.
I also wish to express my deep appreciation to everyone who have contributed in making this competition possible,
sponsored and supported it.
I very much hope that this Competition will become a remarkable artistic event and will signify the beginning of
the historical tradition of Moscow International Competitions.
Good luck to those who are at the source of this event".
