On December 19, an anniversary concert was held at the Odesa Philharmonic featuring the "Zabava" exemplary choir from Art School No. 3. The group celebrated its 25 years of artistic achievement.

The Director of the Department of Culture, Ivan Liptuga, congratulated the choir and presented awards to the team.

«It is essential for young musicians to step onto the big stage from an early age and grow alongside masters of their craft. Recently, the cultural project "Odesa. U-NEXT" took place at the Opera House, uniting art schools in Odesa and showcasing the synergy of initial, secondary, and higher music education. This is how stars of Odesa are made in a professional environment,» said Ivan Liptuga.

During the concert, the "Zabava" choir performed with the Chamber Orchestra of the Odesa Regional Philharmonic conducted by Volodymyr Dykyi.

The young performers showcased their virtuosic skills under the guidance of Svitlana Smyrnova. The concert also featured renowned musicians and singers who have collaborated with the choir for many years.

The "Zabava" children's choir has been reaffirmed with the title of "Exemplary".
