Led by the venerable Vladimir Minin, the Moscow State Chamber Choir enthralls with liturgical music rarely heard in Singapore in a third concert that ends with stirring Russian songs.

Experience the richness and opulence of Russian choral music – liturgical and secular – a centuries-old tradition sung authentically by one of the world’s greatest a cappella choirs.

Renowned for its ancient liturgical choruses to 20th century masters, the Moscow State Chamber Choir is also highly praised for works from Monteverdi to Bernstein. Formed in 1972 by the eminent Vladimir Minin, the Choir has been hailed as a master ensemble of individual soloists, having performed with distinguished Russian singers such as Evgeny Nestorenko, Irina Arkhipova and Elena Obraztsova, and under the direction of Evgeny Svetlanov, Vladimir Spivakov and Mikhail Pletnev. Its Singapore debut programme presents a selection of sacred and secular choral masterpieces, and the rousing popular favourites of the Russian folksong tradition.
