There it has got acquainted with the musical producer from Germany Friedrich Freiberger. So the idea has appeared to organize performances of ensemble on cities of Germany. The whole year this idea ripened. And the stage of preparation to performances is completely completed, and on October 12 the ensemble will give the first concert in Hanover. Within one month, which ensemble will conduct in Germany, more than 10 concerts on cities of northern grounds are planned.

Music of ensemble sounds on the Saratov radio and TV. But the musicians are not going to stop on achieved. As the next course in advance of musical production of the Saratov ensemble on the world market is possible to consider the new address and new design of page of ensemble in the Internet - www.balalayka.com. In 1999 by one of first in Saratov the ensemble has opened the agency in a network. But now administration of page of ensemble is entrusted to the professionals, and it, undoubtedly, will give the positive results.
