The orchestra of the FSUE “Rosmorport” Far Eastern Basin Branch and the Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy gave a concert in Vladivostok. The concert was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of higher maritime education in Russia, which is celebrated on March 5, 2024.
The special program called “Musical Evening of Sea Songs” was presented on March 2 at the concert hall of the Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy, one of the leading maritime educational organizations in Russia.
Many university graduates gathered in the auditorium. Today, former students have become sought-after specialists in the field of maritime transport: captains and mechanics, shipbuilders and ship repairers, civil servants and entrepreneurs who represent their alma mater with dignity.
Raisa Bilim, soloist of the orchestra, opened the festive evening with the song “White steamship” from The Care-Taker movie. The naval theme was continued by vocalists Alexander Pstyga and Dmitry Gorovoy who performed a song from the repertoire of Eduard Khil and a song of Vladimir Vysotsky. The concert featured many other everyone's favorite compositions on marine theme.
On March 5, the day of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of higher maritime education in Russia, the orchestra provided musical accompaniment to the dress parade of cadets of the Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy on the parade ground of the university.
Maritime education on the shores of the Pacific Ocean dates back to 1890, when the Alexander Maritime Classes were opened on November 14 and professional training of sailors began in Vladivostok. A new stage of development was marked by the transformation of the Vladivostok Maritime College on March 5, 1944 into the Vladivostok Higher Maritime School, which today is known as the Maritime State University named after Admiral G.I. Nevelskoy. Since that time, highly qualified command personnel with higher engineering education for the merchant and navy have been trained in the Russian Far East.
