Sofiya Khan, a student at the Educational and Research Institute of Musical and Performing Arts and Sociocultural Practices, won first place in the "Vocal Genre – Academic" category at the "Les Rythmes de Paris" International Two-Round Competition (Paris, France), held as part of the Ukraine–France international project (World Angels Festivals – Art World Festivals). Sofiya impressed the international jury with her highly professional performance of Gilda’s aria "Caro nome che il mio cor" from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera *Rigoletto*. We sincerely congratulate Sofiya and her teacher — Nataliia Mykhailivna Tolstova, Associate Professor at the Department of Theoretical, Instrumental, and Vocal Training—on this brilliant achievement on the international arts stage! We wish her boundless creative inspiration and many more spectacular performances and victories!
