At the end of May, the V All-Ukrainian two-tour festival-competition of arts "Krabzar's Country" (Kyiv) took place, which was held with the support of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine, the international radio "Radio Sfera Music", the Association of Pop Artists of Ukraine, and the international talent development company "Tuaron".

The competition brought together talented performers from all over Ukraine. Among the best were students and teachers of the Siverskodonetsk Music School No. 1, who once again proved that true talent knows no barriers.

The First Prize Laureate Diploma was awarded to the piano ensemble consisting of Litvinenko's student Alina and teacher Hanina Tatyana Nikolaevna.

The diploma of the First Prize Laureate was awarded to Plakhonin's student Kyryl (teacher Khanin T.M.).

The diploma of the First Prize Laureate was awarded to the student Berdetska Victoria (teacher Khanina T.M.).

Behind each of these awards are dozens of hours of classes, rehearsals, excitement before performances, and enormous daily work. Today, teaching music is much more difficult than ever before. Teachers and students of the Siverskodonetsk Music School No. 1, who continue their activities in the city of Dnipro due to the war, overcome many difficulties every day. Air raids interrupt lessons, unstable emotional state tests strength of spirit, and distances and circumstances often force classes to be held in different formats.

We congratulate the laureates and wish them new creative heights and inspiration!
