The TONALi Tour project is a cultural and educational project of the Trans-Siberian Art festival. It is designed for students of grades 9-11 of secondary schools and provides students with a unique opportunity to express themselves in the field of art management. High school students who take part in the project are engaged in organizing a concert, from choosing a program together with musicians to attracting viewers.
