The II Moscow International Festival ‘Harmonica-the soul of Russia’ will be held on October 25-31 in the framework of the program Moscow in the World Culture.
      
       Revival of lost traditions and return to the roots of national creation is the major goal of such festivals. The festivals ‘Harmonica-the soul of Russia’ initiated by the unique Museum of Russian Harmonica are also unique.
       They present virtuoso performers playing a great variety of instruments bearing the common name of ‘harmonica’, such as accordions, button accordions, folk harmonicas, both antique and modern, eccentric and acrobatic harmonicas, as well as instruments rare in Russia: concertino, physharmonica and mouth harmonica.
