Dear Expats, Do you love to sing? Have you sung in choral groups in the past or played a musical instrument? Would you like to make music a part of your life in Moscow?
If so, join the Moscow Oratorio Society! We are seeking all voice parts for our December Holiday Concert. The Moscow Oratorio Society, founded in 1993, is Moscow’s oldest international choir. We present rarely performed classical works as well as popular music creatively arranged by talented young Moscow composers. Even though we are amateurs with varying levels of experience, with the support of our Moscow Conservatory trained artistic director Alexander Tsaliuk and a few other professional choristers, we strive for – and usually achieve! – a semi-professional sound. Our performances are unique, large-scale productions, often accompanied by a full orchestra. Through the choir, expats and Russians have the opportunity to get to know each other and share and learn a lot about Russian culture. Stressed professional workers say they enjoy exercising the other half of their brain with a rigorous Wednesday night practice. In addition to rehearsals, the choir also organizes a range of social events. Ideally we are looking for singers with previous choral or orchestral experience who have a desire to continue creating beautiful music. Everyone is welcome to attend rehearsals, but those without the ability to read music often find themselves devoting hours to the music outside of rehearsals. Rehearsals began last week, but we are still looking for members! If you would like to join the choir, please contact Carol at [email protected] or show up at the Maimonides Academy this Wednesday at 6:30 pm. More detailed information can also be found at http://www.moscoworatorio.com/ To get to Maimonides Academy, ulitsa Sadovnicheskaya 52/45, from metro Novokuznetskaya, take the only exit. Once you exit the metro, walk left (slightly around the metro building) to the tram tracks. At the tram tracks, take a left a walk along them until ulitsa Sadovnicheskaya. You will walk a few blocks and cross the river. Sadovnicheskaya will be the second right after the bridge. Take a right on Sadovnicheskaya. Maimonides Academy will be on your right after a short walk. The entrance is through a black gate. Here is a map: http://maps.yandex.ru/?where&ol=biz&oid=1071764289&source=adrsnip Kind regards, Carol
