An evening with exquisite, spiritual music from the orthodox repertoire sung by Russia´s leading choir. If you are seeking some time out, we recommend you close the Arts Festival of North Norway in Harstad Kirke with a magical musical meditation.
For the Festival the choir presents a cross-section of their sacred repertoire. The public is invited to an evening in Harstad kirke with a magical russian orthodox atmosphere, and some of Russia´s most moving church music from across the centuries. Heavenly voices and sacred texts. - Food for the soul: promises Festival James Clapperton.
The State Academic Male Choir of the Kapella A. A Yurlov has been based in Moscow since 1903. Throughout the Soviet period (1917-1991) it played a pivotal role in Russia´s cultural life. The choir has amassed a gigantic repertoire, and tours all over the world.
- Their 140th anniversary programme of Rachmaninoff´s music was a gift to everyone in the concert hall, both participants and audience, Music and Time Magazine, Moscow.
