The Concert Ensemble of Kirov Theatre performers. L-R: Alexei Rastorguev, Mikhail Ratner, Vladimir Yekimov, Solomon Kafian. Alevtina Kholmina singing. 1942
The Kirov theatre would regularly send such ensembles to Perm “for the cultural enlightenment of soldiers, commanders and political workers”, as the newspapers wrote at the time. The ensemble headed by the cellist Mikhail Rikhter performed on the North-West front from late January to mid-April 1942, giving over eighty concerts.
