Soprano Ines Sch?nenberg, accompanied by Jacqueline Criss, and narrator Olga Heinz, took listeners on a musical journey through the Russian soul. The church was decorated in a Russian theme, including hand-painted icons by Jeanne Nelson. The first half of the program was dedicated to music by Russian composers, including three songs by Tchaikovsky and the "Letter Scene" from the opera "Eugene Onegin", also by Tchaikovsky.

During the second half of the program, Ms. Sch?nenberg captivated the audience with her rendition of Mussorsgky's "Hopak", as well as three well-known folk songs. The listeners insisted on an encore and were delighted by the soloist's "Sleigh Ride".
