A woman with blonde hair, wearing a vibrant red strapless dress, sits gracefully at a grand piano. Her hands are resting on the keys, and she is looking to her left with a pensive expression. The piano is made of wood with a striking striped grain. In the background, there is a large, horizontal painting on a white wall that depicts a person's legs in high heels. A faint glimpse of a rug is also visible on the floor to the far right.

Oksana Kolesnikova built an international career ranging from Hollywood events to concerts for American troops overseas. Her latest performance is a personal one in St. Petersburg. 

The Siberian-born pianist and Florida State University grad performs in St. Pete’s Duncan McClellan Gallery this weekend.

Early in McClellan’s glassblowing career, before studying in Murano, he asked Oksana’s husband, Alex, to teach him basic Italian so he could communicate with fellow glassblowers. 

Now, the gallery hosts the couple for an evening of music and art. Guests can tour the gallery’s exhibits, mingle with the artists and enjoy Italian cuisine from Felice Italian Deli.

Tickets start at $100 for Oksana Kolesnikova performing Saturday, Sept. 14 in St. Petersburg.
