Greeting by Denis Shapovalov, cellist, laureate of international contests
I cordially thank MVK administration for their offer to take part in the expedition to the Arctic! There can be no doubt that this fantastically interesting project is of great historical and cultural significance not only for Russia, but for the whole world. I was impressed with this fantastic idea, the scale and level of the project, and without hesitation, I agreed to become a participant. It is a great honour to make a speech at the opening ceremony of the first exhibition at the North Pole, and, of course, I could not neglect this unique chance. In the future I would be delighted to take part in other MVK projects, which I’m sure won’t be any less extraordinary!
Best regards,
Denis Shapovalov
