“Our small country is amazingly full of talented young people. Upon completion of the pilot project in 2023, we found out that we need to further develop this area, help identify and develop their talents. We traveled to all the regions of Abkhazia, told and showed children how music is made, what an arrangement is, conducted master classes and auditions for children who love and know how to sing,” he noted.

“Unfortunately, not everyone took part in it today for various reasons, but the work was done and the results are pleasing,” Berzeniia said.
Head of the Solo studio Frida Berzeniia thanked the organizers of the event and told about her studio’s work with children.
"We are dealing with development of not only musical skills, an important part of our work is also to instill a love for native language, for singing songs in the native language. Me and my students were happy to take part in the project and I am very grateful to its organizers for this chance," she noted.
Abzagu Marykhuba noted that the project offers opportunities for children not only to communicate with professionals, but also for self-development.

Of course, everything related to the development of children, the unlocking of potential, talent should have comprehensive support. In the person of Mussa Ekzekov and WAC, I am grateful to everyone who works for the development of our talented youth, and I am happy to support these initiatives," he added.
