George Washington University will be hosting the first Slavic Spring
Festival in Washington DC. This celebration of Slavic culture and
history, a meeting of Slavic representatives and officials, is
unprecedented in scope. All are cordially invited to partake in a day
of traditional Slavic cuisine, dance, and folk music. The feature
performance will be the 2004 winner of Eurovision Song Contest,
Ruslana! The public will be addressed by foreign ministers and
ambassadors.
Initially, the festival concept envisioned an informal gathering for
Slavic students and their respective embassies. However, thanks to the
diligence and enthusiasm of the national representatives, the size of
the guest list and level of prestige far exceeded the original scope
of the project.
The festival is aimed at reaching unity through diversity and is a
large undertaking combining the direction and input of the embassies
of Belarus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Poland, Russia,
Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Ukraine. There will be ambassadors and
prominent politicians from all corners of the Slavic world to reveal
their unique national perspective and historical heritage. Members of
Congress and various representatives of US government agencies will
also be in attendance. Foreign and local mass media is welcome and
encouraged to cover the event.
The festival will take place on the campus of the George Washington
University, near the intersection of 21st Street and H Street NW from
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM on March 31, 2007. The event will be open to the
public and the admission will be free of charge.
Russian dance and music ensemble "Barynya" will be representing Russia
by performing one hour program with six dancers, three musicians and
singer (full company).
