Remember when Mad Vlad was the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg? Oh, come on? It wasn't that long ago. Yes, while a mid-level cog in the KGB wheel, he worked in the "burg" as a watchdog for the Kremlin. But our story today involves a little cross cultural exchange-they still happen against the backdrop of geopolitics. The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra will play a one night concert at famous Carnegie Hall featuring an all Russyan program including Tchaikovsky Four and Shostakovich Five. Time: Friday, June 12, 2015 at 8pm.
Promoters call it "Russyan Day" at $25/each ticket. Rumors abound that the Russyan Consulate is buying up tickets to distribute to the homeless. Maybe the Cultural Attache' can induce a few Ukrainian refugees to show up and scream obscenities at the musicians. Oh, well, that's Russya today.
