A word from the artistic director

Photo
The idea of creating a festival dedicated to Slavic culture came to us after a concert where we played Tchaikovsky and Dvořák. The public did not know the works presented, but how much enthusiasm and excitement to listen to this music! People asked us innumerable questions about the traditions and customs of the countries of Eastern Europe ... It is to answer these questions, and to make discover to the general public of Quebec and Canada the infinite wealth of this culture, that we decided to bring a small part of our countries here to Montreal.
This year we are celebrating the 7th anniversary of the Russian Seasons. We are young, full of energy, and ready to welcome you for a 2019 edition with a prestigious programming and many surprises. Come join us, meet our artists, our team and, above all, explore with us the riches of Slavic culture!
