Inspired by the beloved Russian tradition of “Kvartirnik”—cozy musical gatherings at home filled with song, stories, and connection—this unique evening invites you to slow down, lean in, and feel closer to your roots.
Sofia Galas and Nikolai Mishchenko return back with a deeply personal evening of nostalgic Russian-language songs, reimagined through elegant and unexpected acoustic arrangements, this time in a collaboration with Russian-born artist Aleksandr Aleksandrov.
Expect familiar melodies like Непогода, Блюз, Нева, and Хочешь — but from a new angle. These beloved songs will be performed with a fresh emotional depth, blending jazz, acoustic textures, and refined harmony, while still staying true to their Russian soul.
This isn’t just a concert — it’s a cultural exploration of erasing boundaries between art and music. Between each performance, Sofia and Nikolai will gently guide the audience through the cultural and emotional layers of the music and paintings, revealing their deeper meaning and complexity.
Join us for this vulnerable and emotional gathering — a modern Kvartirnik for those far from home, but never far from each other.
