Three Russian Songs were performed by the Academic Choir of the Lomonosov Moscow State University under the direction of conductor Mirza Askerov and the Symphony Orchestra of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Foreign students were greatly impressed by the visit to the Conservatory and the concert, and expressed their hope for further opportunities to become familiar with Russian culture.
