January 22 is a memorable date in the history of Novosibirsk Philharmonic Society.

This day 12 years ago the celebrated conductor Arnold Kats passed away. He was a founder of Novosibirsk Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble of soloists Novosibirsk Kamerata and Concert Brass Band. The significance of his activities for the Novosibirsk culture in particular and the world musical culture in general is difficult to overestimate.

The 95th anniversary of Maestro’s birth in September 2019 will be marked in Novosibirsk Philharmonic by an international festival.
