The message reads, in part:

"It is great that your large-scale educational and outreach project is a success and that it attracts more and more participants from all around the world. I would like to emphasise the important role your festival plays in preserving the centuries old traditions of Old Russian Byzantine rite singing and in popularising Orthodox Christian music, which is unique in world culture.
I am sure that the in-depth and diverse concert programme and the extensive excursion and outreach programmes will be welcomed by both the festival's musicians and guests and will become a bright event and a real holiday for the connoisseurs of this rich historical and spiritual heritage of our people."
