Omsk Region Summer: A Season Full of Discoveries
Late May saw a grand opening of the summer tourist season on Muzeynaya Street: 20 municipal districts of the region presented their landmarks and weekend travel routes, while the creative teams of the “Siberian” Cultural Center delivered a 6‑hour concert.
The “Lyubinsky.Travel” exhibition‑fair was organized by the Tourist Information Center with the support of the regional Ministry of Culture.

“The possibilities of the human voice are limitless!”, the musicians firmly believe
A guitar was needed only for the final song…
…but after the first verse, the rest of the band joined the soloist

This is how “Project P” put a vibrant exclamation mark on the day’s packed program
Among the fans of their vocal style is Svetlana Bakulina, Deputy Minister of Culture of the region
