A Russian invasion is coming to Southern Vermont this weekend.
On Friday, June 8, at Landmark College in Putney, and Sunday, June 10, at the Latchis Theatre in Brattleboro, the Windham Orchestra, under the direction of Hugh Keelan, will present “Russian Festival.”
Three Russian composers and a young artist provide the inspiration for Russian Festival. The spirited program includes Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D and the Firebird Suite, Tchaikovsky's Overture-Fantasy Romeo and Juliet, and Glinka's Ruslan and Lyudmila overture.
Keelan said two elements make this concert special: highlighting Russian music from the 19th and early 20th century, and the presence of Matthew Woodard, a 17-year-old violinist from South Hadley, Mass.
