Join us July 19, 2013 as the captivating Golden Gates/Moscow Nights musical troupe from St. Petersburg, Russia will present a magical family show featuring Russian songs, lilting balailaka and accordion instrumentals, folk stories, dances, and comedy routines on Friday, July 19 at 7:00 pm. Wearing colorful traditional costumes, the performers will thrill you with their musical virtuosity and soaring gymnastic footwork. The performance is free, but voluntary donations to support Russian children will be accepted.

Audience participation is part of the show, so this may be your chance to see a balalaika up close, and get some pointers on those fantastic leaps performed in Russian dance. Don’t know what trashotky is? You’ll find out! Entrancing for all ages!

The church is located at 6565 Red Road, Coral Gables, 33143 (on the corner of Red Road and Ponce de Leon Boulevard.) The acoustically-perfect sanctuary seats 600, so bring all your friends and family. For more information, call (305) 667-7508 or visit the Concerts/Cultural link at www.firstumcsouthmiami.org. (Not a religious event -- the church is just the venue.)
