Igor Butman and Larisa Dolina

On November 27, the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory will host a joint concert by People’s Artists of Russia Igor Butman and Larisa Dolina, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Russian jazz.

The acclaimed saxophonist and renowned singer have performed together on numerous occasions, but this will be their first joint concert at this historic venue. Audiences can look forward to a true celebration of music, rhythm, and the freedom of improvisation.
