Folk, composed and orthodox church music from Georgia, Armenia, Macedonia and Bulgaria in which deep bass voices and high tenors lift you with their expression of the Slavic soul in song.
Bio / Background
From a recent concert review by Rajna Klaser:
It is remarkable to hear Russian Orthodox Christian music performed by Slavyanka's men with such conviction and excellence, and then realize they are not Russian or even of Russian descent. It is hard to fathom the time and pure will power invested in the learning and understanding of this foreign tradition in order to reach this level of excellence. Though labeled an amateur choral ensemble, Slavyanka is a well-balanced chorus of considerable strength and superb musicianship, with a vast Eastern European repertoire and exciting programming designed by director Gregory Smirnov.
A contemporary "Our Father" by Vladimir Licina, a young Serbian-American composer, features a haunting baritone solo, while the choir provided a richly colored background. "In Thy Kingdom" by Bulgarian composer Khristov was the highlight of the program.

Wonderful Russian music powerfully presented by this men's choir. Jovano Jovanke is one of my favorite Russian folk dances and this rendition is the best ever.
