#concert
On April 19, 2024, at Trinity Church on the Green (New Haven, CT, USA), a joint concert of the Yale Russian Chorus and three talented Russian musicians, Alisa Sadikova (harp), Elizaveta Ulakhovich (soprano) and Leonid Gurevich (piano), took place!
The concert was a close interweaving of choral, vocal and instrumental compositions, dedicated to the theme of choral resonances in instrumental music and cultural exchange ✨
The basic concept of the concert, combining choral pieces with instrumental pieces with choral influences, was very interesting. We presented choral and instrumental pieces by the same composers, so that the audience could compare and contrast.
The concert was warmly received by a large and appreciative audience who felt it was outstanding. The visiting musicians were first-rate, and we performed very well together. The combination of the choral sound and the soloists (soprano, harp, piano) was marvelous and it gave the concert a chamber-music feel 🎶
Musicians and concertgoers were welcomed by the Episcopal Trinity Church on the Green, which, along with two neighboring churches, is part of the New Haven Green Historic District (16-acre privately owned park), designated a National Historic Landmark District. The church building was constructed between 1814 and 1816 by Ithiel Town in the Gothic Revival architectural style, and has largely retained its original appearance. In addition, Trinity Church on the Green is known for its rich musical life (male and mixed choirs, organ music, dramatic groups, etc.).

Welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
Without a doubt, each of us had our own motivation to join the Russian choir. But we offer you a quote from one of the members of our choir, which unites us to some extent and explains a little the meaning of the choir in our lives: "Singing the music of the YRC in the style we sang it, was an antidote to the intellectualism that got many of us into Yale in the first place, but that could be so restrictive to the heart and spirit".
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to RUclips, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music 🌿

Первый раз вижу пение хора с солисткой, обычно выступают солисты-мужчины. По-моему, получается очень интересно.

[@ОксанаАсонова]

Совсем молодая женщина, видимо, раньше не было подходящей кандидатуры, хотя в самом хоре женщины пели, несколько точно было.
