“Despite all rumors, the Philharmonic will be open,” he emphasized.

The deputy head of the regional department of culture and archive Kirill Zastrozhny explained that in January 2014, concerts in the organ hall are planned to be conducted every week.
“We will invite musicians. We have already gotten several interesting proposals, including one from the title organist of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, and one from the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. There are few organs in Russia, so our instrument and its capabilities will be in high demand among musicians,” Kirill Zastrozhny remarked adding that in January there also will be concerts organized on the great stage of the Philharmonic.
He also stressed that the priority will be given to the leading professional groups and teams of the region, however, nonprofessional ensembles and guest performers will also perform on the stage of the establishment.
