Russian Folk Musicians and Dancers Featured in Angels Camp Performance
The Massenkoff Russian Folk Festival, starring Nikolai Massenkoff, a world celebrated singer, along with a Balalaika ensemble and virtuoso musicians, and Russian folk ballet dancers, will perform at the Bret Harte Theatre in Angels Camp on January 10. The 3:00 pm matinee is presented by the Calaveras Arts Council as part of their winter performing arts series called Ovations. All seats in the theatre are assigned; tickets are $25 for adults; $10 for youth to 18, and can be purchased on-line at www.highsierratickets.com or by calling 209-296-5495.....
The performance brings to life the rich heritage of Russian culture in song, dance and music, incorporating Massenkoff’s “basso profundo” voice, native costumes and a variety of traditional songs and stories. Expect to experience a range of Russian performing arts - Cossack dances, simple peasant melodies and Red Army Chorus songs, as well as instrumental pieces and a segment featuring Russian Gypsy melodies.
Massenkoff and his company have performed all over the world, including at Carnegie Hall in New York City; Epcot Center and at other prestigious centers; with 16 major symphony orchestras; at major universities; before 90,000 people at the Olympics in Korea; and on international and national television.
The Bret Harte Theatre is a 350-seat, state-of-the-art performing arts center at 323 Highway 49 in Angels Camp. The next performance of Ovations will be on February 6 featuring Native American flutist and two-time Grammy winner Mary Youngblood.
