The program includes concerts for violin and orchestra by W.A. Mozart.

The performances of the semifinalists are accompanied by Krasnoyarsk Chamber Orchestra Artistic Director and Chief Conductor - Honored Art Worker of the Russian Federation Mikhail Benyumov. Conductor - Maria Benyumova (Germany).
