The March of the Red Army Choir
The choir has its humble beginnings during the first decade of Stalin's rule in Russia, and went on to international acclaim following the fall of the Iron Curtain. It is now regarded as one of the world's leading visual choral/dance ensembles.
The choir's concerts feature a dizzying array of performers and an ensemble repertoire that covers over 200 works, including songs by national composers, folk and sacral music, classical pieces by both Russian and foreign composers, and even a few more modern hits.
The ensemble features 130 performers, including the choir, soloists, an orchestra and a ballet troupe. To date, the company has toured in more than 70 countries to rave reviews, and now they will tour Poland from March 8 until March 28. This week sees them kick off their tour in Warsaw's Sala Kongresowa on March 9 and 10 before heading for Łód, Olsztyn and Gdańsk from March 11-13, and then to many other regions across the country.
