Pianist Marcel Tadokoro watched the night performance «Mayak» at the Street Theatre Festival and the next day he strolled along Revolution Avenue and visited the monument to Andrey Platonov. During a walk along Petrovskaya Embankment the guest learned with interest about the history of Voronezh’s founding.
Marcel was touched by a tragic chapter in the city’s history when during the Great Patriotic War (World War II) Voronezh was divided by the front line into two parts. The artist laid flowers at the monument in the Pioneer Garden — the place where children died from bombs, at the Glory Monument and at the eternal flame in Victory Square.
Marcel Tadokoro said: «I managed to see many sights. I realized that Voronezh has a rich and deep history. I don’t always get to explore the city because I usually rehearse a lot before concerts. This city tour is a rarity and I am happy to be here».
On June 3, Marcel Tadokoro performed with the Symphony Orchestra of the Voronezh Concert Hall under the baton of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Yuri Androsov.
