Musical Harmony United Participants from 150 Countries in a Single Prayer: Closing Ceremony of the First World Public Assembly
Today, on October 1, we pay tribute to the universal language that everyone understands without translation – the language of music. It is an integral part of human existence, penetrating into the very depths of the soul, filling hearts with emotions and inspiring great achievements. And on Music Day, we remember the unique closing ceremony of the World Public Assembly "New World of Conscious Unity", which took place on September 21, 2025, the International Day of Peace. The ceremony became a musical way of uniting people from 150 countries around the world, erasing borders and language barriers.

At the end of the Assembly, a solemn ceremony of awarding the First World Public Recognition Award "For Service to Humanity" was held, as well as a festive concert as a vivid result of the forum's work.
A unique musical composition presented by Italian singer Serena Menarini was a strong start: She sang the prayer "Our Father" in ancient Aramaic. The same language that Jesus Christ spoke. During the performance of the piece, the audience stood up in unison. Despite their different backgrounds and religions, the participants of the World Assembly prayed at the same time, turning to the Almighty in their thoughts. There were tears in the eyes of many.
The musical composition "Russia", which celebrated its 30th anniversary this year, became a deep tribute to the country that hosted an unprecedented international public forum. It was introduced to the audience by People's Artist of the Udmurt Republic, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Valentina Pudova. The song "Russia" was declared the song of the year in 1995.
The concert featured the song "Ana Tilegi" by composer Tolegen Mukhamedzhanov, performed by the charming opera singer, People's Artist of the Republic of Kazakhstan, People's Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan Nurzhamal Usenbayeva. Experts call the performer "a precious diamond in the scattering of Kazakh opera singers," emphasizing her European-honed vocals. And the author of the song Tolegen Mukhamedzhanov became one of the winners of the World Public Recognition Award "For Service to Humanity".
The audience was delighted with the composition by Igor Skvortsov "Hyperborea". It was performed by the actor of the Alexander Gradsky Theater Busha Homan. "It's just the cosmic level of Hollywood soundtracks. An endless stream of vibrations and images," the audience commented on the synergy of voice and music.
The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia presented a special gift to the World Public Assembly. They have prepared a number for the concert based on the traditional Indonesian dance from the province of East Java – "Topeng Ireng": incredible ethnic costumes, raging colors, cultural and historical traditions. The performance was presented by the traditional Indonesian dance group "Kirana Nusantara Dance".
Each of the concert performances could be called unique. For the first time, the song "Anthem to Peace" by People's Artist of the Chechen Republic Ali Dimaev was performed in 6 different languages - the official working languages of the World Public Assembly. The performance by Bushi Homan and the soloists of the RUDN Interclub made it possible to see and experience the beauty of diversity and unity at the same time.
As part of the concert, the premiere of the song "Universe" by composer Igor Skvortsov based on poems by Alexandra Ochirova took place. Alexandra Vasilyevna is a scientist, philosopher, poet, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Co–Chairman of the Supreme Advisory Council of the World Peoples Assembly and the main ideologist of the World Public Assembly. Her poems sounded like a celebration of humanity and humanism. The musical composition was performed by singer Yulia Podolyak.
The culmination of the festive closing ceremony was a joint performance by the dance groups of the RUDN Interclub from around the world: the Oriental dance ensemble, the Madagascar vocal ensemble, the Haakil el Sadaka Arab group, the Lotus Vietnamese group, the Latin American dance group, the Rhythms of Friendship international dance ensemble, and the Caucasian Dance Studio collective. 120 people performed on stage at the same time! A single burst of rhythms, movements of the body and soul of representatives of different nationalities left an unforgettable mark in the hearts of the concert audience.
And, of course, the landmark finale of the musical performance on the International Day of Peace was the "Festive Chime" of bells. A nine-year-old Luka Kurilov, a young musician and bell ringer of the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on Gorodnya, performed this piece on stage. The audience and participants of the ceremony joined in the chime: each of them held a bell in his hands, affirming the wish of a peaceful sky above his head for all mankind.
The concert was directed and produced by composer and public figure Igor Skvortsov. The event was hosted by presenter Theophile Gioku - Cameroonian and State Secretary of the World Peoples Assembly, journalist and TV presenter Alena Dolgopolova.
The entire course of the World Public Assembly has become beautiful music composed of thousands of different notes, motifs and melodies - from classical symphonies to folk tunes, from jazz improvisations to modern rhythms. Each of them is a spark that ignites kindness, compassion and love in us. May International Music Day become another symbol of uniting millions of people on our planet, erasing borders and language barriers, proclaiming love and unity among the peoples of the world.
Happy holidays! Happy International Music Day!
