Aristotle argued that music has the power to shape character. With the help of music, you can teach yourself to develop the right feelings. Our university, in turn, helps our teachers, staff, students, undergraduates and doctoral students to develop their talents through music.

The competition is intended to contribute to the identification of new bright talents, the formation of moral, patriotic, cultural and aesthetic education of young people. Participants in the competition were couples, which included: students, teachers and university staff.
