Today, on September 21, in the Small Hall of the Bashkir Philharmonic the presentation of the Ufa Philophonists Club took place. Recall, this summer the Head of Bashkortostan Rustem Khamitov visited the chairman of the Ufa club of philophonists, retired Radishlav Garayev, who appealed to the head of the region with a proposal to revive the club's work. According to him, the revival of the club of philophonists will promote the popularization of classical music in the republic, familiarizing the youth with the best examples of performing arts.

And today the club is reborn according to the decree of the republic's leadership. In addition, it was decided to equip a modern music library in the Ufa Youth Library in Ufa. There will be collected rare records, which will be accessible to all comers.

Minister of Culture of the Republic of Bashkortostan Amina Shafikova took part in the solemn event.

"Today is a special day when we return to the beautiful traditions again. Many joint projects are planned, for example the virtual concert hall - which recently opened in the philharmonic society, will broadcast audio materials provided by Radislav Mugallimovich from his own collection. So, the meeting will be able to hear not only Ufimians, but also residents of the districts and cities of Bashkortostan ", - stressed Amina Ivnievna.

She also noted that the main place of work of the club will be the Ufa Youth Library.

"Radislav Garayev transported his collection there and provided the equipment, now we will be able to hear classics in good quality. I would like to wish fruitful work to the newly opened club - let there be more followers, "the minister said.

Radislav Mugallimovich remembered the founders of the club and those who stood at the sources - Laletin Dmitry, Pismenny Valery, Ivanov Anatoly and others, told the guests about the club's past life, about the collection that still includes classical music, jazz and even high-quality pop .

Organizers plan to present to the public a series of joint lectures and concerts on philophony with the demonstration of unique records.

It should be noted that the Ufa Philophonists Club was founded in 1976 by collectors. It was located in the Palace of Culture RTI. The club consisted of almost 100 people who paid contributions, which gave them the right to purchase rare vinyl records. Weekly lectures were conducted in three sections: classical, jazz and popular music. However, in 1994 the free rent of the premises was canceled, and the club practically ceased to exist.
