2015 is a significant year for both countries. It not only marks the 2015 Russian Culture Festival in China, but the Sino-Russian Youth Friendship Exchange Year as well as the 70th anniversaries of the victory of the Anti-fascist War.

Both China and Russia have agreed to hold a variety of activities to celebrate bilateral ties during the festival. This jazz concert will kick off the “2015 Russian Culture Festival in China”, offering a feast for all lovers of art and music.
