and secular Russian music, and many works by contemporary composers.
The choir has been led by such esteemed conductors as A. Yegorov,

1982 Professor of the St. Petersburg Conservatoire Valery Uspensky
has served as the Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the choir.
The choir has performed with many notable orchestras, such as the
St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the St. Petersburg State
Orchestra, and the Youth Symphony Orchestra and has worked with
such renowned conductors as Yuri Temirkanov, Claudio Abbado, Alexander
