Those wishing to attend the concert were so many that five minutes before the beginning of the show, the central and private entrances were blocked. Even some visitors with invitations could not get inside.

A few minutes after the concert had begun the managers of the show decided to let the rest of the guests in.

Over 20 representatives of the media of different generations performed around 30 music numbers in various genres — from jazz to pop and ballad songs.

During the concert, the gathered commemorated Penza journalists died in the past few decades with a minute of silence.
