BOSNIAK INSTITUTE CANCELS CONCERT BY YOUNG RUSSIAN MUSICIANS

SARAJEVO, OCTOBER 13 /SRNA/ - The Russian Embassy in BiH said the classical music concert "Rising Stars," which was due to be held at the Bosniak Institute in Sarajevo, had been canceled because of what it described as unforeseen circumstances beyond its control.

"Our detailed comment on the decision by the management of the Bosniak Institute will be published subsequently," the Russian Embassy said in a statement. "Rising Stars" concerts featuring young Russian musicians were held in Banja Luka and Istočno Novo Sarajevo, while another performance had been scheduled for Sarajevo last night. The concert program includes Russian folk compositions and works by Sergei Taneyev, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Konstantin Mostras, as well as Frédéric Chopin, Franz Liszt and Luigi Bassi. The concerts were organized with the support of the Russkiy Mir Foundation, the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory and the federal agency Rossotrudnichestvo.
