In September, the 18th contest "New wave"will be held in Sochi

In September, the 18th contest "New Wave"will be held. Alexander Rumyantsev, Director of the competition, noted that"the competition has acquired a permanent residence in the Sochi resort city".

 

Composer, people's artist of Russia and producer Igor Krutoy, as Chairman of the jury told TASS that the exact date has not yet been established. He stressed that"the Channel asks us to move early, but it will be better for the competition in September." In addition, Igor Krutoy said that he would like to invite Alla Pugacheva to the "New wave": "I am going to, but how she [decides]. We'll meet and talk." Alla Pugacheva is the initiator of the contest, so her appearance on the" New wave 2019 " will be symbolic and will support young performers. In addition to the" New wave 2019 " on August 27, it is planned to hold a creative evening of Igor Krutoy.

 

Last year, the final program of the competition was held on Sunday in Sochi. The program was attended by 15 young performers from 10 countries. From 2002 to 2014 "New wave" was held in Jurmala. Then the competition of young performers moved to Sochi and is still held here.

As mentioned earlier, the exact date is still unknown. But the arrival of participants is scheduled for the period from 24 to 30 August. The organizers of the competition clearly established that it will be held in Sochi in September.

Igor Krutoy considers autumn to be the most appropriate time for a large-scale event, which is watched by most of the world.
