Russian Cultural Kaleidoscope Returns to Sturgis

March 26, 2019 @ 12:20 pm - 1:30 pm

Russian Cultural Kaleidoscope Returns to Sturgis The art, music and culture of Russia will be brought to Meade School children and the Sturgis Community on Tuesday, March 26 with a return visit from the Kansas City-based Cultural Kaleidoscope presentation. Sergei Shapoval, who first appeared here in 2009, will perform at the Sturgis Community Center Theater with two (identical) programs.

Mr. Shapoval, dressed in a traditional Russian folk costume, presents a multi-faceted program which will include a video highlighting folk dances and a demonstration of Russian folk instruments -including the Garmoshka, Balalaika, flutes and Bayan/button accordion -and audience participation in folk dancing and playing of authentic musical instruments. Born in the city of Krivoi Rog, Ukraine, Sergei has a master’s degree in Music education from the Gnessin Pedagogical Institute in Moscow. He is a touring artist for the South Dakota Arts Council. South Dakota Arts Council support is provided with funds from the State of SD, through the Department of Tourism, and the National Endowment for the Arts. It is co-sponsoring this event with the Sturgis Area Arts Council.

Two one-hour assemblies are offered – the first at 8:45am and the second at 12:20pm. The community is invited to either of those sessions, but the early show would be more preferable. This is a free assembly and we encourage everyone to come to this enjoyable and educational trip to Russia.
