Saturday, November 10, 2010, 7:00 pm, Board Room, LCRA
First time in Austin! Concert of famous russian poet-satirist Igor Irteniev.

Igor Irteniev is relatively “famous” he is a political satirist and writes poetry. He has published books and used to appear on TV reciting his satirical poetry.

Igor, a truly unique figure in contemporary Russian culture. Taking on a gamut of parts — from a 1970’s underground artist to a 1990’s political commentator and “voice of the people”, Irteniev is a poet whose sharp satirical verses brilliantly reflect (and influence) the mindset of contemporary Russia or, at least, that of the culture-oriented part of its population.
