Lyra Community Singers
Sunday, October 2, 2011, 4 p.m.
LYRA is a community of professional musicians most of whom are students or graduates of the St. Petersburg Conservatory and 
sing in churches and musical theaters throughout that city. Though members of LYRA represent different musical professions: choral conductors, opera singers, instrumentalists, music teachers; it is their passion for ensemble singing that unite them. The first part of the program opens with sacred music from the Russian Orthodox Church with works by famous composers like Arkhangelsky, Bortnianski, Kedrov, Tchesnokov, Strokin, Andreeva and other masters of choir music who are not well known outside of Russia. The second portion of the program features Russian folk songs: comic, lyric, dancing, and love songs.
The concert is open to the public. A free-will offering will be received and a reception follows the concert.
