Oksana performs songs by Tchaikovsky in this lecture recital alongside pianist Rustam Khanmurzin and speaker Philip Ross Bullock.

Tchaikovsky’s personal life was infamously turbulent, but what do we truly know about his inner emotional world? How, despite legal prohibitions when it came to male homosexuality in Imperial Russia, did he navigate his private life? In this lecture recital, Philip Ross Bullock – author of a 2016 biography of Tchaikovsky – argues that the composer’s songs represent an intimate diary of his innermost thoughts and feelings.
