The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Buenos Aires in San Telmo opens its doors every Saturday at 7:30 pm to offer you a series of free concerts combining classical music, opera, tango and Argentine folklore. If you have never been to the blue church of Buenos Aires, you can get to know it while enjoying free concerts.
Free concerts at the Russian Orthodox Church of San Telmo: opera, tango and classical music in a unique temple.
The Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Buenos Aires is an architectural jewel from 1901 and it is the first Russian Orthodox church built in Argentina. It has a Muscovite style façade and blue domes that can be seen with the naked eye from Paseo Colón Avenue.
On the top of the church there are five golden crosses, which were brought directly from St. Petersburg and inside, you can see iconostases (walls of religious icons) that were hand painted and frescoes of orthodox saints.
Admission to the concerts is free, with admission on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. In addition, non-perishable food donations are requested to support the church’s community dining room.
