The State Academic Capella in St. Petersburg hosted a gala concert celebrating the revival of the "Russian Musical Society" (RMS), one of the oldest cultural and educational public organisations in Russia. The main goal of the RMS is the popularisation of classical music.
A special agreement of collaboration was signed by Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhniy Novgorod Region, and RMS President Vladislav Shestakov, giving RMS its new home in the Pushkin Theatre of Opera and Ballet in Nizhny Novgorod.
