31 January 1999. This date will long remain in the memory of those who had the opportunity to attend a solo concert of Tatiana Furtas, accompanied by the winner of the all – Russian competition of orchestras-orchestra of folk instruments of the DK of "Cheboksary electric plant" under the guidance of honored worker of culture of the CR Mikhail Garifulin. The audience, or rather the audience, with anticipation of something unusual and beautiful was waiting for the beginning.

At the magical moment when the first words of the song poured into the hall, seemingly without any effort, the hall froze in silent admiration. Amazingly beautiful, stunning purity, and strength the voice of Tatiana fascinated. It seemed that sings her soul – so much emotion was invested by the singer in performance. The initial excitement she felt was transmitted to the hall. Each song, Aria evoked strong feelings and found a response in everyone's heart.

Between the soloist and the accompanying singing orchestra under the direction of Mikhail Garifulin felt harmony, together they were one. The efforts of the musicians were not in vain; the perfect accompaniment created a certain mood and a sense of celebration. And the magnificent coloratura soprano took the audience into the world of real art, into the world of music.

All sitting in the hall had a great pleasure and appreciated the high professionalism and natural talent of Tatiana Vladimirovna. After each number the hall applauded standing, welcoming, if not the birth, then the first steps of a real star.

Of course, a lot is yet to come, but how much has already been achieved, so everyone who has ever heard the voice of Tatiana Furtas, without hesitation will say – the Singer and will be absolutely right.

The pride felt by all sitting in the hall, in our hearts (students and teachers of APU) was much stronger, because for us it is not only a countrywoman, born and living in Alatyr, but also primarily a colleague for teachers and a teacher for students.

From the bottom of the heart, teachers and students of APU wish you, Tatyana Vladimirovna, that this success and recognition, which we witnessed, accompany you always and everywhere.
