One of Russia's musical treasures, the St. Petersburg Symphony was founded in the late 1960s with the intention of performing seldom-played opuses of different musical styles from all over the world. For nearly 20 years it did just that, and was known as the Orchestra of Ancient and Modern Music. By 1988, the Symphony's repertoire expanded greatly and is now considered limitless as they perform music of every era, genre and style. Led by Principal Guest Conductor Vladimir Lande, the St. Petersburg Symphony's Houston debut program will feature Weinberg's "Rhapsody on Moldavian Themes" and piano soloist Xiayin Wang performing Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.3.
