En route, they will perform 43 concerts between Barre, Vermont, and Nacogdoches, Texas. The biggest cities on the tour are New York City, where they sing in Carnegie Hall, Chicago (Symphony Hall), Philadelphia (Verizon Hall), San Antonio, Dallas, and Nashville. Rodion, 12, and Gabriel, 11, are looking forward to exploring the cities; they are looking forward to cheesecake and baseball, musicals and films, to skating, to American pancakes and football, to Philly cheese steak and ice hockey, to visiting Miracle Mile, Liberty Bell, and Central Park, among other things. They really want to see the famous skyscrapers - and they have done their research. Online of course.
