Seychelles to host Franco-Russian concert |04 June 2011

Elena Mezhinskaya (singer), Alexander Lushchik (guitarist) and Philippe Servain (accordionist) will be performing as a trio on Thursday June 9 in the auditorium of the School of Education (ex-NIE) at Mont Fleuri.

As part of the Seychelles brand of tourism launched by President James Michel, the Seychelles Tourism Board (STB) has embarked on a ‘Cultural Tourism’ drive which saw world class performers such as Yuri Bashmet and Michel Dalberto perform in Seychelles.

“Now we are benefiting from the initiative of two embassies rallying their forces to bring added support to our Cultural Tourism drive,” said Alain St. Ange, STB’s chief executive.

“We take this opportunity to thank the French and Russian ambassadors for this initiative and to thank the University of Seychelles, Air Seychelles and Alliance Française for the support they have given to make this cultural show happen,” Mr St. Ange said.

Tickets for the concert cost R150 apiece and are on sale at the Alliance Française, Bois de Rose Avenue (tel: 4282424)
