It has long been singing since the time of the creation of the club «Gorozhanka» — said the member music band Zoe Lesnikova. — When our club collapsed, it turned out that there went our vocal group. Then we were given room, where we invited the accompanist of the Academy of Arts. So we have been working for 9 years. » Participants musical group performed at many venues: in urban music programs in hospitals, health centers and places of detention. Convicts are always happy to accept the group, and at the time of parting endows them with gifts. «There will be elections on Sept. 8 and in all schools will be open day. On this day they decided to invite vocal groups, and organize small concerts. Unfortunately, I can not take part in the program, because I am the chairman of the district commission — said Zoe Lesnikova. — I believe that people need to go to the polls. Because this is our choice, and we choose how we will live. If we make the right choices, then our city will flourish as before. » The festival itself, «Primorsk Dawns» consists mainly of nuggets. Its main goal — to unite people for the sake of creativity. The program does not include specific genres of music, and each takes the stage in order to show that he can do it.
