Prices are $35 for lower balcony and $25 for upper balcony seats. A limited number of orchestra and mezzanine seating is available at $55 each.

“This is an amazing and very rare opportunity to hear these musicians in concert,” said Fort Myers Community Association President Mary Lee Mann. “The Russian State Symphony is known for its rich sound, nobility of expression, and skilfully balanced sound.”

The orchestra will present Glinka: Rusian and Ludmila Overture, Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4, and Grieg: Piano Concerto with pianist Pavel Nessessia, who has been called one of the most remarkable Russian pianists of his generation.

The Russian State Symphony is one of five classical performances to be presented this season by the Fort Myers Community Concert Association. The remaining concerts are the Russian National Ballet performing Sleeping Beauty March 2 and Siberian Virtuosi performing March 19.
