Vadim Astrakhan Concert at the Russian Tea Hour

Vadim Astrakhan Concert at the Russian Tea Hour

Since he arrived in the US as a Russian immigrant in 1991, Vadim Astrakhan has been honing his skills in translating the works of singer-songwriter Vladimir Ostrosky into English and performing them. On April 1st, he entertained the Russian Tea Hour with a multimedia performance of Ostrosky that was equal parts entertainment and education, mostly in English, but ending with some of Ostrosky’s original Russian lyrics.
