During the Independence Day celebrations in the USA, a work by the Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky will be played. This was announced on July 4 by the Axios portal.

"Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture <...> has become one of the main elements of the Independence Day celebrations in the United States," the publication says.

It is noted that orchestras perform this composition throughout the United States on Independence Day, despite the fact that it was originally dedicated to the victory of Russia over French troops in 1812.
