Traditionally, the academic year at VSU concluded with a memorable musical event, the Voronezh Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Philharmonic Hall, led by maestro Igor Verbitsky, gave a concert for the staff of Voronezh State University. The moderator of the concert was the art historian, Professor Bronislav Tabachnikov.
This year, the programme of the concert was dedicated to the year of theatre. The musicians played the overture to the opera “Halka” by S. Monushko, extracts from Georges Bizet’s incidental music for “L'Arlésienne”, a play by Alphonse Daudet. They also performed music by A.K. Lyadov, P.I. Chaikovsky, A.K. Glazunov, and N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov.
