The Classicaplus project and composer Pavel Karmanov presented the premiere of the «Flight (Polet)» program at the Zaryadye Concert Hall. On April 12, 1961, cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin made the world's first flight into outer space, proving that human capabilities are limitless, that the pursuit of a dream can overcome any obstacles. The concert lasted 108 minutes — the time during which the Vostok spacecraft orbited the Earth.
