On December 6, 2021, the results of the XXII International Television Competition for Young Musicians “The Nutcracker” were announced in Moscow.
“This year, as in the past, the jury and the orchestra in the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall switched places. The final was held without an audience, but this did not prevent the creation of a real celebration of music for both the participants and the audience who watched the third round in front of the screens.”
