Xmas Swing Russian Style by grishaV1
This was a concert that I gave ticket to my partner as a Xmas gift: Russian swing! A great troupe of Russian players told the story of Christmas, danced, played traditional songs, and new style pieces in a colorful way and with colorful traditional costumes. It was a wonderful evening that had many Russians come there as well as Germans and others, singing along to songs we knew and almost wanting to dance along.During intermissions for the musicians they even came up into the audience and talked with people, very friendly! The stage there is very special, unlike some theatre I have been too this was not a really detach stage but one just sitting in the middle, a place for them to play. You seemed in a close room with them like at home almost. It was great. The percussionist was from far east Russia near where we used to live in Magadan, and we asked he and his partner to dinner and they came with us after the show. It was good to talk to someone from home.Its located just around from Postdamer Platz, at Vorverkauf an allen Theaterkassen und in der Philharmonie 254-88-132.
