Cellist Denis Shapovalov
Cellist Denis Shapovalov "Calligraphy is ancient sacrament and wisdom, the starting point for world cognition. Calligraphy is akin to music: simple signs like letters and notes fill a blank sheet of paper with harmony, philosophy and beauty. These arts can be mastered by the elite but clear for the general public.

The aims and ideas of MEC Sokolniki and the exhibition of calligraphy are as usual beautiful and noble. The MEC Sokolniki team is a brotherhood of energetic and talented people! Go ahead, my friends!"
