August 2020
Dear friends and guests of our city!
In our city, a gradual easing of measures aimed at preventing the COVID-19 epidemic is being introduced. Some of the restrictions have already been lifted: parks, children's playgrounds and sports grounds have reopened in St. Petersburg since June 28. Since June 29, summer cafes and a zoo have been operating in the city. It is noted that visiting parks was allowed without a medical mask and gloves,but no one canceled the social distance. Navigation of small vessels and pleasure boats on the rivers and channels of Saint Petersburg is open.
Unfortunately, at the moment, mass events are not yet allowed to take place. We will try to inform You about any changes in the cultural life of our city as soon as possible.

A city lost in time. Lost addresses in St. Petersburg
The Rumyantsev mansion shows more than 200 photos taken from the middle of the XIX to the end of the XX century. The images show lost panoramas and buildings of St. Petersburg. Familiar ensembles do not immediately give themselves away — the now-defunct buildings are slightly confusing. Among these unrecognizable places-the modern Labor square, Moika embankment in the area Of the house of culture of communication workers, Zagorodny Prospekt — on the site of the current locations were churches and temples. There are also pictures of innovative buildings for the beginning of the XX century-among them the House of the German Embassy on Isaakievskaya square or the fairy-tale House in Kolomna. The exhibition is completed by memories of once suburban suburbs-now they are already well-lived areas of the city.
Where: Rumyantsev's Mansion, 44 Angliyskaya emb., Saint Petersburg
When: until September 30, 2020. Mon, Thu-sun 11.00-18.00, Tue 11.00–17.00,
CONCERT OF SERGEY ZHILIN AND THE JAZZ BAND "PHONOGRAPH"
"Fantasy" - fiction or a game of imagination? A fantasy embodied in musical reality, or a fictional reality supplemented by the expression of musicians? The human voice penetrates into the expressive lyrical and rhythmic element of music – and magic is born. Whether it is capable of human imagination? Music is capable of.
"Fantasy" is the most anticipated and unexpected program of the people's artist of Russia Sergey Zhilin and his "Phonograph jazz Band", which will change your idea of the versatility of music and jazz in particular. A new reading and an unpredictable combination of compositions, songs, styles and emotions-this is the secret of The Maestro's art to surprise the audience.
