On 6 March 2024, the soloist of the Moscow State Academic Philharmonic, laureate of the XV International Competition named after Tchaikovsky Dmitry Masleev and piano duet of Maria and Desislava, the Bobrin sisters - graduates of the Moscow State Conservatory named after Tchaikovsky, participants of international competitions and festivals - performed in the Armoury Chamber. 

“At this time, in early March, we would like to present a very beautiful music gift. Our concert today is called “The Spring Dreams”. The peculiarity of our “Music Meetings in the Kremlin” is that we do not choose the themes, but allow the musicians to make the choice following their mood and desire. The programme of today's concert is composed and prepared by the musicians. The wonderful pieces of music, such as solos, duet parties, and even the six-hand romance by Sergey Rachmaninoff will be performed for the first time in this hall,” said Elena Milovzorova, Head of the Publishing and Special Programs Department of the Moscow Kremlin Museums, in her welcoming speech.

The Petite Suite for piano four hands by Claude Debussy opened the concert. Then, the guests listened to the works by Rachmaninoff, nocturnes and polonaise by Chopin, three fragments from the ballet “Petrushka” by Stravinsky. Dmitry Masleev included “Adagio” by Bach / Marcello into the programme at the request of the audience. The show finished with “The Six-Hand Romance” by Sergey Rachmaninoff, performed by all musicians at the grand piano.
