Celebrated Baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky's US Tour with Philharmonia of Russia and Constantine Orbelian Featuring Several Classical Movements' Choral Clients
A tour organized by renowned UK management company Askonas Holt featured Siberian opera star Dmitri Hvorostovsky in a program of Russian arias and War Songs with Constantine Orbelian and the Philharmonia of Russia. Cities on the tour included Moscow, New York, Washington DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Miami, and London.
Classical Movements was instrumental in bringing together the Russian performers with several choruses, including the Grammy Award winning Pacific BoyChoir for performances in LA and San Francisco and the excellent Cathedral Choral Society for the concerts at the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center. The Concert at the Barbican Center in London featured more CM clients, the Yale Alumni Chorus and the Cambridge University Musical Society.
The programs of Russian opera selections combined with poignant songs from World War II were highly successful. Most erformances were sold out and the music received an intensely emotional reaction from thousands of audience members of Russia origin. At CD signings after the concerts, Hvorostovky's recordings sold like hot cakes as long lines formed to
meet the uniquely talented singer.
Plans are currently underway for a similar North American tour by the Moscow Chamber Orchestra featuring Hvorostovsky, Orbelian,and a Russian chorus for Fall 2007.
