OREANDA-NEWS. November 8, 2011. Renaissance Credit is proud to be the title partner of the first alternative CROC-Rock festival, which was sponsored by the CROC Company and Silver Rain Radio, with the support of the STS TV Network.

The CROC-Rock festival was launched on March 5, 2011 to discover the rising stars of Russian rock and support young performers. In the past seven months, the expert jury, Silver Rain Radio listeners and the audience at the final concert selected the best performers from a wide field of contestants.

The CROC-Rock festival culminated on October 22, 2011, when a jury led by Vladimir Matetsky and the audience of the final concert elected the winner. Of the five final contestants, “Anton the Eighth” was awarded the festival’s Grand Prize: a payment card with 1,000,000 rubles from Renaissance Credit. The concert will be broadcast on STS this Saturday, October 29, at 12:25 a.m. Moscow Time.

“Financial institutions are increasingly focusing on the young. Indeed, bank services are in the highest demand by those who want to get the most of life and are hurrying to live here and now. This new generation of young and active people will be the focus for our services in the three or four years to come. Therefore, we at Renaissance Credit were delighted to sponsor the CROC-Rock festival, which brought together so many talented, motivated and active young people. Who else, if not a bank, should support the drive for achievement!” Renaissance Credit Senior Vice President Irina Limitovskaya said.
