To show all the facets of musical masterpieces, 2 completely different orchestras came on stage together for the first time: freedom-loving jazzists and strict "classics". The "Symphojazz: made in Russia" programme was part of the iii "energy of discoveries" international festival - a platform for world premieres of once lost musical works. Among the guests were representatives of diplomatic missions of the Brics countries, Latin America and Africa. TV BRICS international network was the media partner of the event.
