“We have one of the strongest bands in Russia, and with assumption of an office of the new artistic director and chief conductor Vladimir Lande we opened new prospects to the team" - Elena Mironenko said.

Vladimir Lande told the staff about the plans for the upcoming season. In late October, Krasnoyarsk Symphony Orchestra will perform in one of the best place of the country - on the stage of the Saint Petersburg Philharmonia. In the near future managers from Italy and Latin America are going to visit Krasnoyarsk in order to meet the staff of the orchestra, and to consider the organization of its future foreign tours.

Vladimir Lande said that the orchestra has received a unique invitation in early 2017 to perform in one of the most prestigious concert halls in the world - Carnegie Hall in New York.
"Tour - is, on the one hand, the test for any team, on the other hand, it makes possible to be creative and to develop ourselves professionally. For classical musicians Carnegie Hall is an absolutely unique place. Therefore, this trip is very important for the development and teambuilding. And we are going to present the Russian program - works by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, maybe some works of Weinberg, who had never been performed "- the maestro says.
