Classical/sacred choral music in the tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church. The Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir was created at a fateful moment in Russian history, when full-scale spiritual life became possible once again after decades of persecution. At that time Russians realized that the majestic cathedrals and monasteries that had miraculously withstood the times of trouble should once again come alive with sounds of church chants – the uniquely sonorous singing which Russia has always been famous for. In those days a large men’s choir was created at the Sretensky Monastery, mainly for the purpose of accompanying the Divine Services. The musicians of the choir are like-minded highly talented young singers who strive for spiritual growth and firmly believe in cultivating the living tradition of Russian music.
