Programme Note
Launching in 2020 is Pushkin House’s inaugural Festival of Russian Music, from 28 January to 2 February.
The Actors’ Church, St Paul’s Covent Garden will be the venue for Rarities of Russian Vocal Music - a sparkling concert of works for voice, piano, flute and clarinet selected by Alexander Karpeyev and performed by outstanding young musicians and singers. The programme includes the world premiere of songs composed by Stravinsky’s teacher Leokadiya Kashperova plus many more compositions by other composers.
We are excited to be offering a new London adventure in Russian Classical Music and look forward to welcoming you to the Actors' Church.
