Vladimir Dik, director of the music school that is home to Russia’s Apelsintshik (“little orange”) choir for girls, planned the trip. (His wife, Svetlana, is choir director.) He estimated it cost $3,000 each for 15 people . He talked about it through an Interkultur translator Friday.
He said Apelsintshik was found a ticket broker in Novosibirsk to book tickets at a discount. Without that, tickets would have been about $12,000 each. There was a catch – he and his choir did not know their flights until the last minute, so they had to be ready to go on a moment’s notice.
