The Moscow State Academic Philarmonia (MSAPh) is one of the largest concert organizations in the world, holding annually more than 3,000 concerts at venues in Moscow, in regions of Russia and abroad.
The grand opening of the Moscow Philarmonia was held on January 29, 1922, in the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory. Throughout its history, the Philarmonia has maintained a leading position, introducing first-rate musicians. In 1996, the Moscow Philarmonia received the status of "academic".
The Moscow State Academic Philarmonia has seven active concert venues, namely: the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Philarmonia Chamber Hall, the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and the halls making part of the Philarmonia-2 concert complex: the Rachmaninov Concert Hall, the Small Hall, the Game Hall (for events with children) and the Virtual (cinema) Hall.
The commemorative stamp provides an image of the building of the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and the emblem of the celebration; the illustration features a photo taken during a concert of the Symphony Orchestra conducted by N. Golovanov, soloist E. Gilels (May, 1942).
