The St. PCP was founded with a focus on Russian-American cultural
interaction. However, it will not be limited to those nations
in terms of selection of repertoire, musicians and partners. The
St. PCP hopes to be an example of collaboration and co-operation
between a diversity of musicians, which upholds high standards
of musical integrity and embraces an openness to all music, musicians
and audiences, regardless of national boundaries.
The
St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)
organization that aims to promote cultural exchange and understanding,
and the integration of the repertoire of our time into the standard
repertoire of the concert hall. It seeks to provide high-quality
performance opportunities for local Russian musicians as well as
insights into less familiar music, and to provide up-and-coming
soloists and composers with performance opportunities in Russia
and links to the extraordinary Russian musical culture. By employing
contemporary and innovative programming ideas, the St. PCP aims
to provide audiences in St. Petersburg with a unique concert experience
that is otherwise not available in the area, thus filling an important
niche in the musical market.
