Boris Grebenshchikov Sings at Astrakhan State University

On May 25, a legendary rocker and the Aquarium frontman gave a free concert for students and everyone interested in front of the ASU main building entrance.

BG’s informal performances in addition to official concerts have already become a good tradition: within the band’s tours, the singer has organized such performances in shopping centres, at embankments and other free public places. This time, Astrakhan State University had luck: upon a preliminary agreement with ASU Acting Rector Konstantin Markelov, the university hosted a one-hour open air which brought together students, teachers and administrative staff of the university, as well as all Astrakhan fans of Boris Grebenshchikov’s songs.

The concert audience said there was quite warm and informal atmosphere: the musicians communicated with the audience freely and signed autographs in between the performance of popular rock songs, both “classical” and relatively new. Besides, BG granted an exclusive brief interview to an ASU student, which will be posted on ASU media resources.
