Is Sanat continues to its classical concert series in February with Russian Chamber Philharmonic St Petersburg. With its much admired virtuosity and particular sound quality, Russian Chamber Philharmonic St Petersburg has an extraordinarily broad range of repertoire from baroque to modern that has made the orchestra one of the most sought-after chamber orchestras of Europe. Frequent concert tours throughout Europe by the orchestra have taken place to great acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. Since 1998, Juri Gilbo undertakes the position of the Musical Director of the orchestra while captivating not only the public, but also the orchestra from the first tone and not letting up until the last moment. At Is Sanatthe orchestra will accompany pianist Andrei Gavrilov who has been regarded as Sviatoslav Richter’s successor after winning the first prize in the 1974 “International Tchaikovsky Competition” at the age of 18. After a 7 year leave fduring which he did not make any public appearances, he made a triumphant comeback in 2001 playing 4 piano concertos in one evening at the Moscow Conservatory. We’ll certainly witness a splendid performance of Saint-Sean’s most popular piano concertos.
