Allow me to introduce myself and the Association.
The Hermitage Association includes soloists from theatres and concert companies of St. Petersburg – Kirov Opera and Ballet, Maly Opera Theatre, St. Petersburg Concert and others. In spite of having 6, 8 or 12 people, the sound is that of a complete choir. I am myself a professional pianist, Sviridov Contest first prize winner.  Natalia Aksuticheva.
The Association sees it as its goal to keep in the Russian traditions of church music and bring motets
of the Eastern Church closer to western people. Therefore, the program basically consists of liturgical motets and psalms. The program
also includes various folk songs.
