THE world-renowned White Russian Central Band from Belarus is coming to Worcester next month to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Victory in Europe.

Guest soloists from the Bolshoi and dancers from the Belarussian National Folk Dance Academy will also take part in a Russian Spectacular at the Swan Theatre.

It is hoped the event on Tuesday, May 17, will help forge new links and re-establish existing friendships.

Tickets are available from the Swan Theatre box office, priced from £11.50 to £12.50, with concessions for senior citizens and under 16-year-olds.
