hall, where everyone was captivated by the sounds of the masterly
classical performing art. As if in oblivion those present applauded
meeting also the other no less talented performers. The evening
finished in a banquet for the guests and participants, among whom
were many famous theater, musical and public figures, though an

that atmosphere.
