THE Blagovest Choral Ensemble of St Petersburg, once again led by Olga Kozlova, is returning to British shores this month.
Based at the St Petersburg Conservatoire – the centre of traditional Russian choral music - the Blagovest Ensemble is noted for its high quality of professionalism.
The Russian ensemble’s repertoire includes pearls of Russian choral a cappella music, both spiritual and secular, and as part of its UK tour will perform a concert of sacred and folk music at Hawkshead Parish Church tomorrow (Friday) at 7.30pm. Admission is free but there will be a retiring collection.
