Slavyanka Chorus has just managed to arrange a special live Zoom presentation with one of the most interesting and respected choral musicians working in Russia right now. Please join us for this special gathering on March 29th, 12 Noon Pacific time. Details below.
Andrey Kotov is a singer, folklorist, multi-instrumentalist, composer and conductor, creator and permanent leader of the unique choral ensemble "Sirin". This ensemble is widely recognized for their work in reviving unknown layers of ancient Russian spiritual music and giving a living voice again to folk spiritual poetry. Working with ethno-jazz musicians, composers, theater and film directors, and performers of modern music, they are making this music come alive for modern audiences.
In his April 9th presentation, Andrej will introduce us to two musical traditions very far from the usual spiritual aesthetics of today.
Spiritual poems of the Orthodox tradition (chants, psalms, verses, etc.). These are simply songs on spiritual themes or, as the performers themselves said, "songs in the presence of God". They include monastic poems of ancient chant, spiritual chants of the late 17th - early 18th centuries, folk psalms (spiritual texts of the 18th-19th centuries), songs of wandering lyre players, and much more.
He’ll also introduce us to the world of ancient Russian liturgical chants of the pre-European period (znamenny chant, line and demestvenny polyphony, - music that requires a fascinating shift in consciousness for us modern performers.

Как сделать так, чтобы тема вызвала интерес? Особенно, если имена женщин гораздо менее известны, чем фамилии их спутников?
Кем был бы бедный офицер Алексей Явленский, картины которого мечтает заполучить любой музей Современного искусства, если бы не "русский Рембрандт" - Марианна Веревкина?
Как и где бы придумал абстракцию господин Кандинский если бы не участие и товарищество верной Габриэле Мюнтер и ее скромный домик в Мурнау?
А еще без этих двух амазонок просто невозможно представить себе немецкий... да и не только - экспрессионизм. Марианна Веревкина и Габриэле Мюнтер - героини нашей лекции в первую субботу ноября.
