A la Russe!
Natalie Wheen explores the past and the present of Russian art and culture, which currently mingle at London's Barbican Centre. Clothes from the 18th-century court of Peter the Great jostle with the musical world of Igor Stravinsky in the exhibition In Russian Style and for a series of concerts entitled Stravinsky Plus. But these are only two of the events in the Barbican's spectacular Russian Season, which includes further exhibitions, music, films and videos.
