Post Description

The majesty of the Russian Orthodox Church took flight in sight and sound - magnificent cathedrals and glowing polyphonic chant were symbols of the faith's vibrant culture. The church' s musical heritage was relegated to the history books during the long political rein of the Soviet Union. With the fall of Communism, musicians and scholars have rediscovered the magnificent music that the church nurtured from the 15th century through Russia's westernization under Peter the Great.
In 1985 Anatoly Grindenko founded the Russian Patriarchate Choir of Moscow with twelve choir members (all Russian Orthodox monks).
