Slavyanka Russian Chorus Presents: "Russia's Choral Treasures"
On October 4th, San Francisco's Slavyanka Russian Chorus will present "Russia's Choral Treasures": Ancient chants, liturgical hymns, rousing soldier songs, romantic folk ballads -- plus folk songs from Latvia, Armenia, Macedonia, and Georgia
The program will draw on the many rich traditions of Russian choral music, much of it unknown in the West, including ancient religious chants and liturgical and classical music by many of the great Russian composers, including Bortniansky, Tchaikovsky, Chesnokov, Archangelsky, Rachmaninov, Taneev, and Sviridov. A special feature of the concert will be a wide variety of traditional music for male choir, including Russian, Ukrainian, Latvian, Macedonian, Georgian, Armenian and Cossack songs.
For this concert, Slavyanka Men's Chorus will be joined by Slavyanka Women Singers and alumni of the Yale Russian Chorus. Soloists will include Alexander Prokhorov, bass; Elena Gurevich, soprano; Don Reinhardt, tenor; Tom Warrington, tenor; and Paul Tavernier, bass.
The ensemble will be conducted by Irina Shachneva, Artistic Director and Conductor, and Paul Andrews, Assistant Conductor, with assistance from Olga France, Choirmaster.
Based in San Francisco, Slavyanka is an internationally recognized a cappella chorus specializing in Russian and Eastern European choral music. It takes its name from the old Russian name for Northern California's Russian River.
