Programme Note
Immerse yourself in the spellbinding sound-world of a Russian Orthodox male voice ensemble that draws its singers from amongst the finest soloists in St Petersburg, including members of the Kirov Opera.
The extraordinary resonance produced by the Hermitage Ensemble’s blend of voices, all underpinned by a spine-tingling Basso, roams across the rich tradition of austere, sombre chants and more full-blooded and joyous folk songs – conjuring up the beauty and strength of the great Russian soul!
The internationally acclaimed Hermitage Ensemble have performed in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the U.K., Australia, France, Holland, the U.S.A., Canada, South Africa, and China. This concert is given in aid of Keyed Up.
