George Washington High School Auditorium

Led for nearly a decade now by Roman Leontiev, regarded as one of Russia’s acclaimed conductors of his generation, the Tschaikowski St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra continues to burnish its musical credentials, back home and on tour. Not unexpectedly, the orchestra shines in the works of the Russian Romantics, whether warhorses by its namesake Tchaikovsky or 20th-century late-Romantic masters like Rachmaninoff. Brimming with bold, Russian spirit, this orchestra promises to enchant its hearers in this inaugural American tour.
