An Evening of Organ and Vocals at St. Michael's Cathedral

• June 27, 8 pm
• St. Michael's Cathedral
• 500 rubles (tickets to be found here)

St. Michael’s Cathedral is regularly featured in our guides – and for a reason: where else would you go to listen to an organ concert if not a Gothic Revival cathedral? This time, apart from this grand instrument, you will also get to hear vocals by an internationally acclaimed performer and a selection of timeless classics as well as pieces from famous films. An added bonus to the already highly exciting event – I bet the inside of a spacey cathedral is bound to be pleasantly colder, shading you from the merciless sun of late.

Lev Yudin: My Own Voice

• May 13 - June 28
• St. Michael’s Castle, The Russian Museum
• 500 rubles (250 for students – reduced price tickets only purchasable at the entrance)

A student of Kazimir Malevich, Lev Yudin is mostly known for this famous connection. However, during his creative work in the first third of the 20th century, he also managed to develop his own painting style and contribute to the bustling cultural life of the country. He explored avant-garde in all its aspects, from cubism, suprematism, and surrealism to collaborations with contemporary avant-garde and absurdist poets. And on top of that, Lev Yudin also illustrated children’s books and magazines – these illustrations have also made it to the current exhibition. Enjoy this unique sneak peek into Russian avant-garde as you walk down the familiar halls of the Russian Museum.
