The Big Strauss Concert in Saint Petersburg

Go back

Tomorrow, on February 1, Rimsky-Korsakov Central Navy Band of Russia will play the Big Strauss Concert in the Grand Hall of Philharmonia (Mikhailovskaya St., 2).

The Russians were always fond of the music by Strauss. The composer and his orchestra played lots of concerts under the Russian sky — in the splendid building of the Pavlovsk railway station and in the park, where his monument is situated nowadays. The musician was always warmly welcomed here. For example, after the first performance of Strauss’s Polka Im  Pavlovsk-Walde (Im Krapfenwald) the visitors were applauding for so long that they totally forgot about the last train’s departure and had to wait till the morning. There is no such a problem in the center of Saint Petersburg. So come and feel the atmosphere of the Vienna Opera Ball. You’ll get unforgettable experience!

Performers: Rimsky-Korsakov Central Navy Band of Russia. Artistic director and chief bandmaster — Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Captain Aleksey Karabanov. Solo performers: Vasily Popov (cello), Nikolay Popov (flute), Nataliya Shmitt (soprano), Anna Smirnova ( mezzo-soprano), Dmitry Khromov (tenor), Gerard Karpenko (baritone).

The concert starts at 8:00 p.m.

You can buy tickets in the box office and on the of the website Philharmonia.
