Two Bangladeshi children will join 79 others to perform in a concert in the city of Szekszárd of Hungary dubbed as “nuclear kids” on August 4, says a press release yesterday.
As part of fusion between music and nuclear energy, the festival is being organised by Russia's Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation. Two school students from Dhaka — Suhaib Hussian and Kysan Faraj — are in Hungary at the moment to perform in the extravaganza.
Kids from 23 countries including Belarus, China, Croatia, Egypt, Hungary, India, Kazakhstan, Turkey and the United Kingdom have already started the rehearsal for the musical soiree.
This year, the musical titled “The Lomonosov’s Scroll” will be staged by famous musicians from Russia. The performance will be shot in Hungary, Yekaterinburg and Moscow.
“Children from Bangladesh and India have natural talents in singing and dancing. This year we have the 10th anniversary of the project which for the first time was held in 2008. Every year we receive a lot of feedback from the organisers admiring the creativity of our children from South Asia,” said Andrey Shevlyakov, CEO of Rosatom South Asia.
"Aim of the project is to strengthen the friendly relationship between children of employees of the nuclear industry from all around the world, encourage their creativity, and provide a platform to get exposed to knowledge on variety of cultures," said Andrey Lebedev, Vice President for projects in South Asia of ASE Group of Companies — engineering division of Rosatom.
The musical would be a tribute to Mikhail Lomonosov, a prominent Russian scientist of the 18th century. He influenced the formation of the modern Russian literary language and established the first Russian university, later named after him (Lomonosov Moscow State University).
The organizer of the event — Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation— is implementing Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant project in Bangladesh with an installed capacity of 2400 MW of electricity.
