Kalinka (arr. Prokhorov)

The Russian folk-song "Kalinka" captures the essence of the Russian folk style, as it alternates between soulful lyricism and unbridled passion, expressed by the tempo changes and the breath-taking accelerandos. The lyrics refer to “The Snowball Tree”, which is a small bush-like tree with flowers that resemble snow balls, and is considered a significant element of Russian culture. This selection is sure to dazzle and invite audience participation.
