The cultural vector of the Tver region: artists of the federal level come to the region, and the DC and theaters undergo overhaul

On September 17, a solo concert of the People's Artist of Russia Grigory Leps (12+) took place at the Theater Square in Tver. Together with residents and guests of the city, the head of the region Vitaly Korolev visited the event. From the open stage in the city center sounded as well-known and favorite compositions and premiere songs.

The head of the region thanked the artist for the inspiring performance.

I want to stress that there will be more and more such events in the city and region. I think that such wonderful events as today are a sign that we are doing well. The city garden, this concert, the Ferris wheel and many more good events that we organize in preparation for our big Tver-900 program, said Vitaly Korolev, addressing the audience.

The tradition of open performances of star artists is developing on the initiative of Vitaly Korolev: in Tver and the region, shows are regularly held with the participation of famous performers, which viewers visit for free.

In June, a concert was held in Tver with the participation of People’s Artist of the Russian Federation Igor Butman, the Moscow Jazz Orchestra and singer Fantine. On the City Day of Tver in July, the region was visited by groups IOWA, Roots, Chicherina, singer Navai, as well as leading bloggers of the country who performed at the TopFest festival.

In September, the regional capital met the State Symphony Orchestra “New Russia” under the leadership of Yuri Bashmet. And at the celebration in honor of the opening of the renovated city garden, Khabib, Nikolai Baskov, Klava Koka and Mot performed.

Fresh trends

The cultural sphere of the Tver region in 2025-2026 is developing in several interrelated areas: modernization of institutions, expansion of the event calendar, support for youth initiatives and strengthening ties with federal programs. In this context, the role of the head of the region Vitaly Korolev is manifested primarily in coordinating financial resources, launching infrastructure projects and promoting culture as a priority of social policy.

One of the most notable areas was the renewal of the material base of cultural institutions. According to the head of the region, in 2027, nine cultural sites of the Tver region will be modernized at the expense of federal funds. The total amount of financing for these purposes in 2027 will be about 102 million rubles, while additional financing is provided for 2028 and 2029 - 125.5 million and almost 95 million rubles, respectively.

These funds are aimed at repairing and re-equipping regional and municipal cultural institutions, which, according to the regional authorities, will turn them into modern points of attraction for residents. Vitaly Korolev stressed that the renovation of institutions creates comfortable conditions for creativity and leisure, as well as contributes to the preservation of traditional values and the education of the younger generation.

At the same time, financing of the current activities of the sphere of culture continues: in 2026 it is planned to allocate 750.4 million rubles to this industry, in 2027 - 770 million rubles, and in subsequent years - about 745 million rubles annually. This level of budget support allows to support the work of theaters, museums, libraries and cultural houses both in Tver and in small towns of the region.

Regional activities include youth initiatives. In September 2026, the youth historical and ethnographic festival “Novoletie” was held in the village of Vasilievskoye of the Kalinin district. Also in the region, the annual contest “Thank you, my teacher!” was launched, including nominations of videos and short essays.

A separate area is cooperation with federal partners. At the initiative of Vitaly Korolev in 2026 launched a large-scale exhibition project “Excellence” in partnership with the State Corporation “Rosatom”. This project is implemented with the cooperation of the Ministry of Culture of the region and Rosatom Energosbyt JSC and is aimed at popularizing achievements in various fields of activity.
