You are invited to participate in the 48th Annual Petroushka Ball, which will be held on Friday, February 8, 2013 at the Plaza Hotel in New York. We are very excited about moving Petroushka Ball back to the elegant and intimate Grand Ballroom at the Plaza, where the Ball has been held for 40 years.
Since its inception in 1965, the Petroushka Ball has been one of New York's most vibrant and elegant Russian-American events. One of its unique features is its two distinguished orchestras – The Lester Lanin Orchestra in the Grand Ballroom coupled with the Barynia Balalaika Orchestra in the adjoining room. In the past decade many of the world’s greatest artists have appeared in the Petroushka Ball including Anna Netrebko, Dimitri Hvorostovsky, Olga Borodina from the Metropolitan Opera and principals from the American Ballet Theatre and New York City Ballet.
All net proceeds from the 48th Petroushka Ball are directed towards RCWS’ charitable programs. Founded in 1926, RCWS continues to assist disadvantaged children in Russia, by providing educational scholarships for orphans, medical treatment for children with severe facial deformities, assistance to orphanages, rehabilitation programs for children with special needs. RCWS is 501 c 3 non-profit organization and all contributions are tax-deductible.
TICKETS WILL BE ON SALE SOON.
