The concert of the Otar Khunzaria State Orchestra of Folk Instruments on September 23 evoked unforgettable emotions in the audience.
The spectators of the Abkhazian State Philharmonic greeted each performance of the Otar Khuntzaria State Orchestra of Folk Instruments with undisguised joy at a concert that took place in Sukhum on Wednesday 23 September.
There were many surprises that evening: the performance of the People's Artist of Abkhazia Violetta Maan, as well as the famous Russian singer, soloist of the musical group "Chicherina" Yulia Chicherina with the premiere of a song about Abkhazia. The author of the lyrics of this song is a Russian journalist who worked on the Abkhazian TV channel "Abaza-TV", Semen Pegov. The music was written by Chicherina herself.
"I performed in Sukhum quite recently, and at the same time I learned about the orchestra (Otar Khuntzaria State Orchestra of Folk Instruments - ed.). We wanted to do something new - and this is an experiment. I really liked the orchestra's concert. I watched the entire program. I just love it. I am sure that this is only the beginning of our joint creativity, there will definitely be something else," said the singer.
The concert was also attended by the Abkhazian singer Eric Mikaa, the youth folklore ensemble "Akhyshtra" ("source" in Abkhazian – ed.), popular musicians Alexey Samarin and Anton Davidyants. All of them were accompanied by an orchestra of folk instruments.

Many tourists from Russia also gathered to listen to the orchestra.
