The XIX International Festival of Chamber-Orchestral Music «Asia – Siberia – Europe», traditionally held in September, is now officially deferred to autumn 2021. This decision was made by the organising committee of the festival due to the unstable epidemiological situation in the world.

Every Russian and foreign artist and guest featured this year already confirmed their attendance for the next year’s Siberian festival. 

«In August, we usually already start rehearsing the festival's concert programmes, and at the beginning of September we are joined by our guests – foreign and Russian soloists, conductors and bands, – says Director of the festival, Honoured Artist of Russia Larisa Markosyan. – However, the coronavirus has disrupted our plans, and we are forced to move away from the traditional festival schedule. The decision to postpone the festival did not come easily, since the event has been held in Krasnoyarsk every year for almost twenty years, so every autumn classical music fans look forward to concerts. But the safety and health of musicians and listeners is above all, so we ask you to treat this situation with understanding.»

The International Festival of Chamber-Orchestral Music «Asia – Siberia – Europe» has been taking place in Krasnoyarsk since 2001. The unique project has become one of the main trademarks of the city’s cultural life – after all, it’s thanks to ASE that Krasnoyarsk annually acts as a platform for creative interaction between Siberian musicians and the best performers from all around the world. The festival gives viewers the opportunity to see world musical premieres on the Krasnoyarsk stage and hear unfamiliar classics, as well as get acquainted with ancient and exotic musical instruments.
