Success!
The word is music to my ears and we did indeed have a successful Festival this year.
Dr. Timofeyev, joined by IARGUS veterans Vadim Kolpakov and Dan Caraway and newcomers Alexander Menshikof and Vladimir Sumin, endured a grueling rehearsal schedule before performances began on Thursday, October 6th at the Congregational Church in Iowa City. Concerts ran nightly, with two performances on Sunday the 9th.
Opening night included a reception and CD signing for Dr. Timofeyev's latest CD, The Lviv Lute. If you missed opening night, don't worry. You can still get a copy by contacting us at 319-389-9455.
We will have pictures posted here and on our website soon, so keep checking back. And if you missed the festivities, don't worry. IARGUS 2012 is already in the planning stage. We hope to be back to our spring schedule with IARGUS 2012 happening in May.
Hope to see you there!
