The Michigan Daily Online Arts St. Petersburg harmonizes A2 Hailing from half-way around the world, the sound of harmony will chime throughout Hill Auditorium tomorrow, when Ann Arbor is honored, with not only the presence, but also performance of the enchanting St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Russia's oldest symphony orchestra will be conducted by Yuri Temirkanov, starring violin soloist Gidon Kremer in an evening of Shostakovich, Liadov and Prokofiev. The image of small town America is now a far cry from the picturesque fairy tale paintings of Norman Rockwell.
Students act in and direct the four scenes.
One of the pieces was written by a student. The board wanted to see more people involved this year, so it continued the concept.
