On August 21, Kostroma will host the City Breath festival, where the song “Let’s Live, Kostroma!” Will be performed for the first time. The first performance of the composition and the video for it will take place in the Resource Center for NGOs, and for the general audience it will sound on the main stage of the festival – Peace Square.
The creation of a new song is the result of creative cooperation of performers known in Kostroma – Irina Olifer, Tatyana Sagina, Vladimir Volkov, Elena Dobroserdova, Ivan Ivanov, Nina Krasilshchik.
The song was born during the April self-isolation, when the Kostroma musicians had an idea to make a collective gift to their native city. The lyrics for the song were composed by Anton Andreev, and the music was written by Ilya Chistyakov. The author of the text is Anton Andreev.
The text of the work was changed and refined several times until it acquired a modern look – and the organizers of the festival are sure that the new song may well gain such popularity that it will become the unofficial anthem of Kostroma.
