Russian language instructor Elena Thornton, originally from Moldova in the former USSR, conceived the idea as a celebration for her students but realized that the event would appeal to the entire community. She will be welcoming the performers to the stage.
The evening's program begins with the Arizona Balalaika Orchestra, a musical group from Tucson. Five musicians and two dancers perform traditional folk music and dance. Following a brief intermission, Russian-born singer, songwriter and piano player, Marina V takes the stage to perform her beautifully and soulfully modern songs in both Russian and English.
"Russia's Music: The Continuum" is an outgrowth of PVCC's Russian language program and is sponsored by the Center for International Studies
