Slavyanka Russian Chorus
The internationally acclaimed Slavyanka Russian Chorus returns to Sonoma in concert on Sunday, January 22, 2017, at 3:00 pm at Vintage House Sonoma, 264 First Street East, Sonoma. Sponsored by the Sonoma Classical Music Society, Slavyankas program is entitled Christmas in January - Songs of Russian Winter. Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for members of the Society, and $10 for students. They are available from Readers Books, Pharmaca, Vintage House, at the Societys website, www.sonomaclassical.org, and at the door.
Slavyanka, the name the early Russian settlers in California gave to the river that is today known as the Russian River, is an a cappella chorus of 40 members based in the San Francisco Bay Area who are united by a common interest in the choral music of the peoples of Russia and Eastern Europe. It was founded by two alumni of the Yale Russian Chorus in 1979, and for its first 34 years was a mens chorus, joined on occasion by women soloists. In 2013, Slavyanka officially expanded to both a mens chorus and a mixed ensemble with women singers as an ongoing component in the concert offerings. While preserving the sound of the male choir, this enables the exploration of a wider range of Russian musical repertoire.
