“During the day they will function in the ordinary course – welcome readers, show performances, give concerts. And in the evening some informal events are planned to be held – theatricalized excursions, meetings and informal actors’ performances,” the deputy head of culture and archive of the Penza region said.

According to him, during “the Night of the Arts” the philharmonic stage will be for the first time given to youth groups for them to rehearse and give a concert.

Kirill Zastrozhny remarked that such events always attract attention of people in the region.

“The experience of conducting “The Night of Museums” proves this, when at 22.00 young people out of curiosity came to see the exhibition they would hardly want to see during the day,” he said.
