The Lied Center is bringing a bit of Russia to its stage next season.
The lineup includes performances by the Moscow Boys Choir, St. Petersburg String Quartet, Russian State Opera and pianist Olga Kern. In addition, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han will present a concert of works by Russian composers.
“I’m really pleased with the way things have come together,” said Tim Van Leer, executive director of the Lied Center. He announced the 2002-2003 lineup Tuesday night.
Series subscription tickets go on sale today. Single-performance tickets go on sale to the general public July 8. Tickets are available at the Lied Center Box Office, 864-ARTS.
Van Leer said the Russian programs tie in to the St. Petersburg Tercentenary Celebration being observed by several Kansas University organizations, including the Center for Russian and Eastern European Studies, the Hall Center for the Humanities, the Slavic languages department and Continuing Education. St. Petersburg was founded in May 1703 by Peter the Great.
“I’m really excited about bringing in Olga Kern,” he said. “(She’ll be) in residence for several days, and (we hope) to link her up with a Russian studies class.”
The new season will kick off with the Seventh Annual Free Outdoor Concert, featuring Celtic fiddle player Natalie Merchant, at 7 p.m. Aug. 23 on the northeast lawn of the Lied Center.
