Here is a lead that might help. I found it at Indiana University's Russian and Eastern European Institute (REEI) web page. There's a program open to musicians, tourists, you name it. Along with studying the language and culture, there are workshops to study song, dance etc. The person to contact for info would hopefully know who on the REEI faculty is familiar with Russian songs. The contact names are:Dr. Marina Oborina, Academic Programs Director, and
Monica M. White, International Admissions Director, International Institute of Russian Language and Culture
OK, I'm going to try to make a link, but if it doesn't work, you can do it the "old-fashioned" way, by typing in the URL. E-mail: inforuss@postman.ru or

Ohio State University also seems to have Russian stuff in the calendar, but I didn't check it out.Good luck!
