Only ten days ago, Maria Nemtsova and Vitaly Vatulya returned to Moscow from the North-Caucasian Tour. Within this Tour, they visited the regions of the Russian Federation in the North Caucases, including Chechnya, Ingushetia and North Ossetia – Alania that suffered greatly from the terrorism in the 90-es and South Ossetia, unrecognized state, which was the theater of operations during the conflict with Georgia in 2008. For the week in North Caucasia, Alisa Lyubarskaya, the Belarusian cellist working in London at “The Soloists of Covent Garden” orchestra, joined the Project. Young musicians and musical teachers, who came to the master classes, as well as all the audience, were very enthusiastic about the fact, that they could meet and listen to the musicians who are recognized in the best venues of the World. In Tskhinval, the capital of unrecognized South Ossetia, the concert of “MUSIC FOR PEACE” has become the event of the national importance, attended by the Minister of Culture of the Republic Mrs. Madina Ostaeva. Another town on the rout of Maria and Vitaly was especially important for them – it was Beslan in the North Ossetia, the place of the terrible act of terrorism in 2004 when over three hundreds schoolchildren were captured and killed by the terrorists in the building of the local secondary school. The charitable concert that Maria and Vitaly gave in this town in 2010 actually initiated the MUSIC FOR PEACE Project. Beslan was the last point of the North-Caucasian Tour of Maria, Vitaly and Alisa.
