Music & Concert Tours to St Petersburg
St Petersburg, home of Shostakovich and his searing Seventh Symphony, testament to the 900 day siege which the city suffered at the hands of the nazi oppressor, is a city of haunting magnificence, which combines the splendour of Russian Imperial architecture with the inheritance of Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov.
The Winter Palace and the Fortress of St Peter and St Paul on the River Neva are not to be missed.
Concert venues include: Our Lady of Lourdes Church, the Church of Saints Isidor and Nicholas and the Church of the Assumption. Concert Bands and orchestras with lighter repertoires can also perform in many of St Petersburg’s magnificent parks and squares.
