Byzantian
Choir Christmas Beneficiary concert |  |
A brief History: Soester Byzantine Small Choir
was founded in September 1999 from the Soester Byzantine chamber choir which was
set up in 1992 by conductor Frans J.Wertwijn. The ensemble is known for singing
the splendidly liturgical music in the tradition of the Russian church. The choir
is often asked to participate in the Christmas services of both Roman Catholic
and Protestant churches and has an extensive repertoire of Russian liturgical
songs, which are suitable for each existing liturgy. All members of the group
are trained amateurs, who followed both music and singing classes. | On
Thursday, 19th of December of 2002 the Soester Byzantine Small Choir under the
guidance of conductor Frans J. Wertwijn has given a benefit Christmas Concert
in a small Nederlandse Protestantse Bond church located in Soest. The programme
consisted of Russian liturgical Christmas music and both Russian and Ukrainian
Christmas Carols. The Soester Byzantine Choir has chosen to support our Charity
by donating the proceeds raised from this concert to our foundation "Save
a Russian Child".
