Musical Ambassadors Russia Tour 2008

 
Russia Tour Hightlights

The student musicians you are about to hear have been specially selected for this tour from those enrolled in St. Petersburg College's music program. Many of them have entertained enthusiastic international audiences both in Florida and abroad.

Among other venues, these musicians have performed, by invitation, for thousands of listeners at Walt Disney World; at a morning concert at the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans; on stage with Kenny Rogers on his Annual Christmas Tour; and at colorful locations in the Caribbean and Mexico.

It is with great pride that they represent, on tour, their college and their country in selected performances in the Russian Federation.
