Recommendations for Russian cultural figures in U.S.

[George Fowler]

Greetings, SEELangers!
      I received the following message from an active member of the Russian
emigre community here in Indianapolis (and it is a surprisingly large and
cohesive community). He helps to organize cultural events; of the ones he
mentions below, I went to the Guberman performance. He is a bard, and his
concert for 50 or so people was excellent. Basically, he is looking for
singers, writers, actors, and representatives of other cultural fields to
come here for small-scale concerts, poetry readings, lectures, etc. If
anyone knows of likely people he could get in touch with you, I would ask
you to send your suggestions, preferably with contact information as well,
directly to Joe at the address below. Or send them to me. Best are people
based in the Midwest, but any suggestions would be of interest; you never
know when somebody will have another reason to be in this area.
     Thanks in advance!

                George,
I bother you once again with few Russian-related questions.
Have you any idea about location/coordinates of any well-known
people of Russian culture, who are currently in America
(either permanently, as Aksenov, or temperarily, as Bitov)?
I know, that Yevtushenko was teaching recently somewhere in Ohio,
probably, there are someone else.
I also wonder, who brought Bella Akhmadulina in Indy's Clowes Hall
5 years ago?
        The reason I ask it, is that we could try to invite guys now in Indy.
Both Guberman and Yegorov were quite satisfied both by the audience and
financially.

        Thanks, Joseph
