On the main staircase, between classes, you can once again enjoy classical music and contemporary compositions performed by the symphony orchestra, the Polytechnic Chamber Choir, and the Polyhymnia Choir.
The "Musical Break" project launched last academic year and has captured the hearts of all Polytechnic students. Over the years, it has become an important part of the university's cultural life. Musical breaks fill the university with a special energy, foster a creative atmosphere, showcase student talent, and inspire Polytechnic students.
"We strive to make the cultural component an integral part of the university's educational environment, and participation in creative projects a natural part of student life," notes Boris Kondin, Head of the Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity. "We hope that one day the entire Polytechnic University will sound like a single choir—both literally and figuratively—united by shared values, a desire for self-expression, and love."
We encourage everyone to experience the beautiful and attend musical breaks this school year.
I'd never studied anywhere with anything like this before, so at first it felt unexpected and surprising. It felt like I'd been snatched away from the daily grind that sometimes overwhelms us," says Andrey Yemelyanov, a first-year student at IMMIT.

"I felt like I'd entered another reality. It looked and sounded absolutely beautiful! It was great that they performed new songs as well. I really enjoyed the variety of the repertoire," Polina Klevtsova, a second-year student at the Institute of Music, commented on the musical change.
