Prominent Russian musicians, including the Rimsky-Korsakov Quartet of Saint Petersburg and pianist Anna Shpagina, performed Tiutiunnik's works in a concert held on March 19 2007, in the Palace of the Saint Petersburg Composers' Society, as part of those festivities. (Tiutiunnik also performed the viola during the concert.) On the same day, Tiutiunnik lectured at the Saint-Petersburg Conservatory of Music and was interviewed by Radio Maria.
