All ancestors of the musical genius, up to his great-grandfather Pyotr Mikhailovich Shostakovich (1808–1871), lived near the village of Shemetovo, which is located in Myadel district of Minsk region.
The festival has been held since 2016 and is a significant cultural event for the Naroch region and for Belarus. In 2023, festival concerts will be held in Shemetovo, Myadel, Naroch, Molodechno, Slutsk and Minsk.
