All tickets are $20 and may be purchased at the door.

The four Russian singers are Vadim Smantser, Andrey Volikov, Kirill Sokolov and Sergey Shapinskiy.

The group was founded in 2003 to expand the limits of what people thought of when considering the performing capabilities of singing groups and choirs.

Its repertoire covers various epochs and styles, from ancient Russian chants and chorals of Western European to modern music.

St. Petersburg was founded by Tsar Peter the Great on May 27, 1703. It was the capital of the Russian Empire for more than two hundred years (1712–1728, 1732–1918)until the Russian Revolution of 1917.
