Russian choir to perform

An internationally renowned choir is to perform at a Dalkeith church next month.

The St Petersburg Vocal Ensemble will appear at St Mary’s Church in Dalkeith Country Park, on November 12 from 7.30pm.

As part of their autumn tour – Voskresenij – the choir will be performing a programme of Russian sacred music and folk songs such as the Volga Boat Song.

The basso profundo is one of only two in St Petersburg to reach the lowest note in Rachmaninov’s Vespers.

Tickets, priced £10, will be available at the door.
