- Story Text: Military bands from around the world staged a colourful performance on Red Square in front of the Kremlin, in the heart of the Russian capital, on Friday night (August 23).
The festival, called "Spasskaya Bashnya" or Kremlin's Saviour Tower, featured bands performing a wide range of music - from classical pieces and military marches to popular modern tunes.
This year the colourful festival brought to Moscow over 1,000 performers from 30 orchestras from 12 countries, including a military band from North Korea, which took part for the first time.
The festival has been held each year since 2007.
