The participation in the II International Competition Festival of Violin Music "The Baikal Strings" held on April, 1995, in Ulan-Ude was significant. Three members of ensemble became the laureates and diploma winners of competition. The ensemble won the honored deed of the jury for the best performance. This made the great impression for young souls of the members of ensemble and confirmed a fidelity of method to develop skills to make ensemble music from the beginning of learning.

The first success was not casual. There was a participation in the cultural program of our republic in UNIDO Congress on July, 1995, Austria.
"You are not only perfectly understanding the world culture, but you are also the performers of highest classical art existed ever before. When I look at these little children I have represented they played in front of the house where great Mozart was born. Certainly they are the future of Yakutia and Russia".

II Mravinsky International Competition Festival "The Young
Talents" in St. Petersburg in 1998. It is our most significant
victory.
If the country has talented, cleverer and educated young generation, it has more chances for worthy life. The aesthetic education plays special role in this process. Just it enriches with soul.
I don't doubt that in time the E.A.Mravinsky festival "The Young Talents" will become the original phenomenon of the international and cultural life.
I'm sure the unique creative discoveries will expect us. I wait for them with
impatience.
V.A.Yakovlev
the Governor of St.-Petersburg
Such discovery was held. In the second competitive performance of the Violinists Ensemble the hall was complete. In the final ceremony of rewarding and concert in the Large Hall of Shostakovich Philarmonic Society we were entrusted to finish the festival by performing of three works, and the hall applauded us for three minutes.
Acknowledgement of importance of our victory was the participation in a concert of the winners of the Mravinsky International competition festivals in frameworks of "Days of the European cultural legacy" on September, 1999, in St.-Petersburg.
The Violinists Ensemble won the heart of the French
The Violinists Ensemble returned with convincing victory on a traditional International
musical festival in Tour (France).
Since the first minute of performance the power, which proceeds from the participants
of the Ensemble, completely soils the listeners and holds
in straining up to last chord, causing that genuine delight
and interest, which accompany with each its performance.
So was in a solo concert of the Violinists Ensemble of Yakutia in the festival.
The spectator interest was warmed up by three previous bright
performances of the Ensemble in modular concerts. Although
the prices for the tickets achieved the rather impressive
sum, the hall was full. Making all concert by one breath (18
works were executed), children, their chiefs Stanislav Afanasenko,
Larisa Gabysheva and concertmaster Nadezhda Vasilieva tested
wholly the hospitality of the refined French public, which
said "encore!" and rather actively bought the first compact
disc of the Ensemble.
French impresario invited the Ensemble for tour in the countries of Europe
next year.
