THEATRE AND CONCERT PERFORMANCES
IN ST-PETERSBURG

  Philharmonic is the oldest one in Russia. Its history began in 1802 with the foundation of the Saint-Petersburg Philharmonic Society. In a few years the Society won a great popularity within the country. The world-wide fame came in 1824 with the triumphant world premiere of the “Missa Solemnis” by Beethoven. The Philharmonic orchestra itself was founded in 1882 and soon was acknowledged the best Court orchestra in the Empire. On October, 1917 its name was changed for the State Orchestra and up to these days it remains the best in the country. Today the Saint-Petersburg Philharmonic is the city’s citadel of classic music, both symphonic and chamber. While the Shostakovich Grand Hall is dedicated to symphonic music, in the Glinka Small Hall the chamber music is played.
The Shostakovich Grand Philharmonic Hall was opened on July, 1921. It got the former Noblemen’s Assembly building constructed at the corner of the Mikhailovskaya Street in 1837 – 1839. The Noblemen’s Assembly building itself had been the greatest and one of the most popular concert halls in the city. The most distinguished West-European musicians and greatest composers, such as Wagner, Liszt, Schumann, Berlioz, Maler, Rubinstein and many others gave their concerts and performed their renowned works in the White Columns Hall. Works by great Russian classics, such as Chaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Musorgsky, Glazunov, Borodin were premiered in the Hall of White Columns as well.
