The regional selection of participants for the "Slavianski Bazaar" competitions is taking place in the northern region. Several dozen performers are showcasing their vocal talents at one of the main locations of the legendary forum — the Vitebsk Concert Hall. Children opened the auditions, each preparing two compositions. Five vocalists from each age category will advance to the next round. Minsk will pick up the vocal baton. The first stage of the national selection will conclude in the capital on 10 December.
