At the presentation of the feature film "Admiral" 12 October 08 - 12:53
The Central Navy Band was invited by the producers of the feature film "Admiral" to participate in the presentation of the film on 4 October 2008 at the Pushkinsky Cinema in Moscow. The film is about the whole-hearted love and tender passion of Alexander Kolchak and Anna Timireva against the background of the war. Alexander Kolchak was an outstanding military officer and politician, a researcher and polar explorer, who fought in the Russian-Japanese war and World War 1, and was one of the White leaders.
It is pleasant to note that special attention in the film has paid to a military band as a great moral inspiration for the military in battle. Special thanks for this to the whole crew of the film!
The musicians played old marches on an unusual "stage" - a cruiser specially constructed for the presentation at the movie-house. The Band was conducted by Deputy Head of the Central Navy Band, Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Samokhvalov.
We wish to the film-makers of "Admiral" great success!
At Borodino 10 September 08 - 13:16
On September 07, 2008 the Central Navy Band under direction of Captain in the Navy Alexei Karabanov participated in the festival of military music in Borodino. The Battle of Borodino on September 7, 1812 was the largest and bloodiest single-day fight with Napoleon and his troops. The French Army under Emperor Napoleon I attacked the Imperial Russian army of General Mikhail Kutuzov near the village of Borodino, west of the town of Mozhaysk, and eventually captured the main positions on the battlefield, but it failed to destroy the Russian army.
The battle itself ended in disengagement, but strategic considerations and the losses incurred forced the Russians to withdraw next day. The battle at Borodino was a pivotal point in the campaign, since it was the last offensive action fought by Napoleon in Russia. By withdrawing, the Russian army preserved its military potential and eventually forced Napoleon out of the country.
There is a tradition of reenacting the battle on in the beginning of September in Borodino.

[Announcer] The Central Navy Band under the direction of Captain Alexei Karabanov gave a concert at the Grand Philharmonic Hall in Saint-Petersburg for seamen, ship-builders, and the cadets and students of the naval colleges. In honor of the 102nd anniversary of the Naval Fleet and the 50th anniversary of the first atomic submarine in Russia, the musicians played anthems, songs and classical music. Submariners consider themselves as elite and hope their professional holiday will receive the status of a national remembrance day.
[Captain Karabanov] The Submarine Fleet is at the core of our Navy and the security of Russia. The Day of the Submariners is one of their most important holidays, and has every right to be marked by celebration.
[Announcer] The Submarine Fleet is one of the most secret. But one of their secrets that the seamen like to share: their favorite songs are: "God, Save the Tsar!", "The Evening of the Raid" and "There in the Mist". At the concert the musicians played the music that accompanied and honored the outward-bound seamen.
