The Slavic Voices Choir presents music of all styles from the Slavic world: Orthodox chants, liturgical pieces by Tchaikovsky and others, classical compositions, refined XVIII-XIX-centuries Art songs and gritty folklore from the far corners of Siberia to the shores of the Black Sea. The repertoire is sung mainly in Russian but also in Macedonian, Ukrainian, Croatian, occasionally in Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, and adding a guest visit by a song in Yiddish and Georgian.
The Choir is led by Polina Skovoroda-Shepherd, who is the granddaughter of a Cossack and an internationally acclaimed performer, educator and cultural activist. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the Choir’s culturally unique and musically diverse repertoire.
