From January, 15th, to February, 10th, an exhibition “The generosity of a musical palette” timed to the 75th anniversary of Valery Karetnikov runs in the Musical and audiovisual documents reading room (auditorium 305).

The exhibition presents musical editions and audio records of works by V. Karetnikov. Copies of hand-written plays for the piano “Delusion”, “A Night in the Wood” and “The Sunlight Spot”, and a reading-book Belarusian Music of the Second Half of the XX Century (2006) compiled and edited by V. Karetnikov are on display.
