Lovers of Russian culture in the New York area have a new home—Russian Sundays at the 92nd Street Y. Held in the Y’s intimate Weill Art Gallery, the series offers an ideal setting for enjoying Russian and Russian-Jewish culture in a relaxing atmosphere, with time to mingle and drink tea around a traditional samovar. The series opens with renowned jazz musician and storyteller Valeri Ponomarev, who recalls how he learned to play forbidden music behind the Iron Curtain and how he made it from Moscow to Art Blakey and his legendary Jazz Messengers. Ponomarev also performs with his ensemble, the Hard-Bop Quintet. All programs are conducted in English.
