This year, Accordfest was June 22 to 24. It’s a festival for music lovers who write songs and sing them, traditionally playing the guitar themselves, and who enjoy sitting by the fire singing and listening, or on a stage improvising.
This year’s event was organized by CEO and CTO of Synergo, NTR’s division in Novokuznetsk. Konstantin Davkaev and Eugeniy Danilov are not only fans of the music and the venue, but also bards, themselves!

Bards (both singer and song-writer), as  they are called in Russia, means not just people writing music of a certain genre and playing it themselves, but also an entire lifestyle associated with tourism, camping and feeling young and free, no matter what age.

People come from all parts of Siberia to camp on the festival grounds - just pines, birches and like-minded people all around!

There are also many bards and music-lovers at NTR Lab / Tomsk who took part in the festival. It was a great opportunity to simultaneously have a good time and get to know their colleagues from Novokuznetsk.
