EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Sergei Karpukhin, the essence of the International Military Music Festival "Spasskaya Tower" is beautifully portrayed. Against the backdrop of Red Square in Moscow, a lone participant casts an elongated shadow onto the ground as they play their musical instrument with utmost serenity and passion. The juxtaposition between light and darkness becomes evident as the participant's silhouette stands out against the black paving stones. The elevated view allows us to appreciate how this unrecognizable figure becomes part of a larger circle of musicians from different countries, all gathered to celebrate their shared love for music and military camaraderie. As sunlight shines down on this open space, it creatively illuminates both body and instrument, emphasizing their importance in creating harmonious melodies that resonate throughout the urban city. Despite being surrounded by people, this individual appears alone in their own world, fully immersed in their performance. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also evokes a sense of awe at the power music holds to bring people together across borders. It serves as a reminder that even amidst military displays and grand celebrations, there are moments where individuals shine brightly through artistic expression - leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
