On Sunday, March 11 at 2pm, the choir from the Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Cathedral will give a performance of Sacred Choral Music.
The concert will feature the compositions and arrangements of Mikhail Konstantinov, the composer/conductor who directed the Holy Virgin Cathedral Choir for many years. The concert commemorates the 30th anniversary of his repose and will be conducted by Mikhail Konstantinov’s successor and choir director, Vladimir Krassovsky.
The performance will take place at the Star of the Sea Church, located on Geary at 8th Avenue. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors and students. Children under 12 are free.
Here’s a sample of the kind of choral music you’ll hear at the concert:
