The trio “Doverie (Trust)” gave a concert in the conference hall of the museum on the International Day of Families. At the beginning of the event, N.A. Zhuravlyova, who had headed the district branch of the registry office for many years, congratulated everybody on the holiday.
Then people listened to the songs composed to the verses of Vologda’s poets. Many local residents know the members of the trio – Tatiana and Anastasia Orlova and Alexander Khazov. They have already performed in Kirillov many times. They admit that they like to come to our town.
Every song was greeted with cheers. As young families and mothers with kids attended the concert, the singers invited the children to perform on the stage. Lisa turned out to be the bravest girl. She recited the famous poem “Ball” and was given a CD with the songs of the trio “Trust”. At the end of the concert, the spectators asked the musicians to sing an encore and then thanked them for an opportunity to listen to such wonderful compositions.
