Russian Chamber Chorus of New York Concert 1/11
Russian Chamber Chorus of New York (RCCNY) presents the second concert in its series, The Spirit of Old Russia at 4 pm on Saturday, January 11 at St. Charles. The program traces the development of Russian sacred music from the 18th century through the 20th century, including its roots in Russian folk songs and ancient chant melodies. Compositions will include a setting of Pushkin’s haunting Winter Road by Vissarion Shebalin, three sacred choral miniatures by Nikolai Golovanov, a double-choir concerto by influential Baroque Ukrainian composer Dmitry Bortniansky, and a setting of Gogol’s text “Boundless Fields” by Alexander Kastalsky, a prominent Russian choral composer virtually unknown in the West. For this concert program, the chorus will be joined by Anatoly Trofimov on the bayan, the traditional Russian button accordion, and Tamara Volskaya who will play domra, a lute-like traditional Russian instrument. With this program, RCCNY audiences will gain a greater understanding of how Russian choral music has evolved and blossomed over centuries.
