Russian Winter Festival
Preview
An Exhibition of Traditional Russian Costumes
from the 18th, 19th, and Early 20th Centuries
Get a sneak peek at the first annual Russian Winter
Festival of the Capital District (to be held in Loudonville on Feb. 28)
when the Albany Institute hosts a pre-festival exhibition of traditional
Russian costumes. The display will be on view in the Institute’s Key
Cultural Center and includes 15 genuine Russian costumes from a private
collection in Moscow. Noted for their
richness and diversity of form, the costumes reflect the stylistic
features of each represented region and high artistic mastery.
The exhibition will include musical performances by the Ensemble
of Russian Folk Instruments, “Razdolie” and is free with paid museum
admission. Call (518) 463-4478 for information. For more on the first
