The State Hermitage in cooperation with its partners develops musical traditions of St Petersburg. As Mikhail Piotrovsky said - "Museum is the shelter for all muses, all arts should exist here synthetically. The Hermitage is musical: here there is the Hermitage Theater, halls of the Winter Palace where music always played before. Music makes the museum alive".
International Festival Dedication to Maestro - a tribute to the greatest composers, artists and musicians - suggests organizing concerts to mark the anniversaries. Peculiarity of Festival Dedication to Maestro is not only in the concert venue but also in its multi-genre character. As a part of festival classical and jazz concerts, gala concerts of ballet and opera stars take place.

Festival Dedication to Maestro gives an opportunity to listen to musical pieces of different ages, styles and countries in performance of the best musicians.
