The creativity of Solovyov-Sedoy is permeated with a tender love for the Motherland, his native city. His “Moscow Nights” became the musical emblem of Russia for the whole world, and the song “The City over the Free Neva” became the anthem and the real symbol of St. Petersburg.

The author of a huge number of songs (over 400), 3 ballets, 10 operettas, 7 works for a symphony orchestra, music for 24 drama performances and 8 radio shows, 44 films, he was a true citizen of his city and Russia, winner of numerous state awards, Hero of the Socialist Labor, a prominent public figure, for more than 15 years he was chairman of the board of the Leningrad branch of the Union of Composers, secretary of the Union of Composers of the USSR. However, prizes and awards did not prevent him from remaining a cheerful and ironic person. “Our life is always rich in events, rich in human feelings. It has something to glorify, and there is something to empathize with - deeply and inspirationally. ” In these words, the credo of the outstanding composer Vasily Pavlovich Solovyov-Sedy, which he followed throughout his career, is concluded. April 25, 2017 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of this wonderful musician.
