Lugansky will also share his own grandiose arrangements of "The Twilight of the Gods."

The concert duration is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, offering an evening filled with the profound beauty and complexity of romantic music. Tickets are priced at 34 / 18 / 11, making this event accessible to a wide audience.
