Slavic Voices is a new choir in London and Brighton & Hove for singers of all backgrounds. We present music of all styles from the Slavic world: Orthodox chants, beautiful classics by Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky and others, refined XVIII-XIX-centuries Art songs and gritty folklore from the far corners of Siberia to the banks of the Black Sea. The repertoire is sung mainly in Russian but also in Macedonian, Ukrainian, Croatian, occasionally in Bulgarian, Polish, Czech, and adding a guest visit by a song in Yiddish or Georgian. Join us on the journey to explore and share this culturally unique and musically diverse repertoire with the wide world. We perform at festivals and choral events, present our own concerts and collaborations with choirs, bands, orchestras, vocal and instrumental soloists several times a year.
The Polina Shepherd Vocal Experience and covers many aspects of vocal music from large scale choirs to smaller chamber groups, from highly arranged and conducted pieces to on spot choral improvisation. Our specially developed teaching and conducting methods are based on specific East European sound, ornamentation, modal experimentation with attention to history and context.
