"Great Philharmonic Hall, Saint-Petersburg Philharmonic.

This place is my Temple. I came here with my parents to hear first concert when I was 7, and hundreds times since, I learned most what i know from great musicians here, I performed here when i was 11, practiced for hours at night before Paganini competition at 16, played Tchaikovsky concerto for the first time, had first full recital at 17... I grew up here. Twenty years later it seems nothing changed, it's a passage through time. Every time I step my foot inside, I feel the eternity. I remember people I met, music I heard, and now I see my old friends playing in the orchestra.
This is my home forever!"

Dmitri Berlinsky
