On March 8, there’ll be several events that will surely lift your spirits. The Rodina cinema center will screen three silent comedy films by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Edward F. Cline. Every piece will be accompanied with live music by The Easy Winners Ragtime Band, which is famous for their adherence to traditional jazz and a most unique choice of instruments. And on the next day, the cinema center will screen “Gone with the Wind” in the English language, which is a great opportunity to fully enjoy one of the most famous films of all times.
Another great show that will take place on March 8 and 9 is the Favourites of the Moon at the Leningrad Center, which is deemed this year’s scenic highlight for the top-notch multimedia special effects, cast, and level of choreography. The fantastic performance is a unique mix of acrobatics, gymnastics, music and dance that is definitely worth seeing!
For music lovers, there will be traditional concerts at the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines and Azzurro jazz café: expect great live jazz, fond memories, and an incredible atmosphere! Also, on Saturday, March 10, the art café Trizet will hold an evening of french chanson music.
