Dublin City Festival of Russian Culture

 
The 5th Dublin City Festival or Russian Culture kicks off today at 12 noon at the Hugh Lane Gallery with a concert of classical music. In the course of one week, you can sample Russian culture through a long line-up of events for all ages. The Festival concludes next Sunday, 2nd March, with the traditional Family Day.

The Department is involved with three events this year:

  • A Gala concert/poetry evening (Wed, 26th Feb, 7pm, Atrium, TCD)
  • Open Day at the Department, where we will showcase some of our activities (Fri, 28th Feb, 12 noon-3pm, Rm. 5051, Arts Building, TCD)
As part of the Open Day, the Head of Department will give a short introduction to the Department at 1pm, and we will give a guided tour of Trinity in Russian at 2pm, starting in the Department. Everyone welcome - drop by and put your name on the list!
