Nizhny Novgorod Governorate Orchestra

Nizhny Novgorod Governorate Orchestra was founded in 1998 and ranks among the most authoritative musical ensembles in Russia. The idea of creation belongs to Petrov Evgeniy. This initiative gained support in the City Hall, and in the fall of 1998 orchestra had its first performances.

Regional and local events play a tremendous role in the Orchestra activity: international forums (“Velikie Reky”, “Rossia Edinaya” etc.), professional industry holidays, protocol events and so on.
