This discounted event is only available to students. If you are not a student you may purchase tickets at the regular price from the UMS ticket office.

Event Description: The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Russia's oldest symphonic ensemble, was founded in 1882. The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra has performed in Ann Arbor six times, most under Yuri Temirkanov’s leadership. Pianist Nikolai Lugansky, winner of the 1994 Tchaikovsky Piano Competition, makes his UMS debut. A Russian newspaper said of his performance in the final round of competition: "It was like getting sunstroke, a musical shock. Nobody could imagine that the soul of this unpretentious, modest young man, with his ascetic, but also poetic appearance, held such a volcano inside with inspired and resolute control."

Deadline: Thursday, March 17
