On the 80th anniversary of Yuri Marusin

The Andreev State Academic Russian Orchestra will present a special program for the concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the outstanding tenor Yuri Marusin. The two sections will feature works by Andreev, Glinka, Dargomyzhsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Lyadov and other composers, as well as folk songs.

Since 1980, Yuri Marusin has been a soloist at the Mariinsky Theatre, having previously received numerous international awards. The drama and power of Yuri Marusin's voice will forever remain in the memory of St. Petersburg listeners.

Over the years, the artist has maintained creative ties with the St. Andrew's Orchestra and has repeatedly participated in concerts of the band. Russian and Neapolitan songs acquired a special interpretation in his performance.

The evening will bring together performances by soloists of the Mariinsky Theatre, laureates of international competitions — Ekaterina Shimanovich (soprano), Tsvetana Omelchuk (mezzo-soprano) and Boris Stepanov (tenor). Dmitry Khokhlov, People's Artist of Russia, is at the conductor's desk.
