“This is the first concert of the symphony orchestra directed by Valery Gergiev in the Penza region.

The performance will be concluded with a suite from the ballet “The Firebird” by Igor Stravinsky,” the deputy head of the department of culture and archive of the Penza region Kirill Zastrozhnov informed during a meeting with reporters on Tuesday, April 15.

He added that this concert will be a gift for the true connoisseurs and fans of symphonic music.

“It may be called unique. Two young soloists, exhibitioners of Spivakov Fund and the winners of a variety of European and world festivals — Anastasia Kobekina (cello) and Vladimir Petrov (piano). We will try to make Maestro Gergiev and his virtuosos of Mariinsky Theater symphony orchestra to enjoy their stay here,” Kirill Zastrozhnov said.
