The first festival of songs by bards started in the Rovnoye-Novoblagodatnoye mansion in 2001 against the backdrop of the turbulent Msta River that is full of rapids. Every year, the festival gathers music connoisseurs from different parts of Russia as well as near and far abroad countries. Msta Harmonies is very popular with many residents of the Borovichsky District. Since 2021, the festival has been expanding its borders, changing its format and becoming a feast of live music, including different genres in its programme.
