   On the 23rd of September, 2004 the first organ concert by the Seattle Organist Dr. Carole Terry, Professor of Music at the University of Washington, USA, took place in Perm Organ Concert Hall.
   The concert was a real success. Perm citizens are connoisseurs of classical music this is why they are so demanding. The public at the concert were moved and satisfied with the performance and the repertoire Dr. Carole Terry had chosen for it. The program featured some of the most important works in the organ repertoire such as the Bach Passacaglia and Fugue in Ñ minor and also 3 movements of Widor’s 5th Symphony ending with the Toccata as well as other repertoire.
   On the next day Dr. Terry conducted a master class for Perm students doing music at Perm universities. She also played for families adding some special pieces just for children on September 25, 26.

   On September 22, 2004 an opening ceremony of George Woodall’s personal art exhibition took place in Perm State Art Gallery. The exhibition is called “Russia through the eyes of an American”.
   Seattle artist George Woodall has been having a long term creative relationship with Russia. He arrived in Perm in 1994 and helped to found the Perm International Snow & Ice Sculpture Competition. George Woodall also organized International Student Exchanges between Perm and Seattle. The impressions of the 18 trips around Russia are expressed in his paintings, etchings, mixed media collages. The artist displays about 40 works of art in this solo exhibition. He seems to be deeply absorbed and fascinated with Russian landscapes, spacious lands of the Vishera river area, indigenous countryside life and folk culture. His still life works present objects of peasant domestic arrangement and labour.
