The Russian Chamber Art Society (www.thercas.com) presents:
TENTH ANNIVERSARY GALA – October 2, 2015
Attention: Lovers of Russian singing! You are invited to a gala celebration of the Russian Chamber Art Society’s Tenth Anniversary as the leading presenter of Russian vocal music in the nation’s capital.
Please join us at the Embassy of Austria for “Stars of the Russian Chamber Art Society,” a festive evening featuring performances by some of your favorite RCAS singers – among the most captivating young performers of the Russian art-song repertoire – and four special guest instrumentalists.
Singing classic romances by Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Rachmaninoff, as well as 20th-century songs by Georgy Sviridov, Rodion Shchedrin, and Valery Gavrilin, will be soprano Jennifer Casey Cabot, mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wor, tenor Viktor Antipenko, baritone Timothy Mix, and bass Grigory Soloviov, accompanied by pianist Vera Danchenko-Stern, RCAS founder and artistic director. Also performing will be Victor Danchenko, violin; Julian Milkis, clarinet; Tamara Volskaya, domra; and Anatoly Trofimov, accordion.
General admission to the Tenth Anniversary Gala is $150, which includes a buffet dinner, dessert, and an open wine bar. VIP ticket holders at $190 receive an additional exclusive pre-concert champagne reception.
General admission to each of the three other concerts in RCAS’s Tenth Anniversary season, all Friday evenings at the Embassy of Austria, is $55, which includes a wine and dessert reception with the artists. A subscription to all four performances in the 2015-16 season (including the Tenth Anniversary Gala) is $275, a $40 savings over the cost of individual tickets.
