 | Wearing authentic costumes, the Russian Singing Angels perform songs to inspire peace and reconciliation. |
The Russian Singing Angels -- a women's chorus composed of university students from Moscow -- will perform on campus on Sunday, Oct. 26, as part of the chorus's U.S. concert tour called "Songs of Reconciliation."
The concert is a benefit for North Korean Famine Relief, and will take place at 4 p.m. at Battell Chapel, corner of Elm and College streets.
The choir, directed by Paul Kim, aims to show how Russians, Americans and Koreans -- once enemies during the Korean War -- now unite in songs of peace, friendship and celebration. Their repertoire ranges from American sacred songs to Russian and Korean folk songs.
Jung-Ho Pak, conductor of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, will serve as the master of ceremonies for the Yale concert, which is taking place with the support of InterFaith Cooperative Ministries. During its visit to New Haven, the choir will also make an appearance with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. in Woolsey Hall, corner of Grove and College streets.
The Russian Singing Angels have toured extensively and performed at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The choir traveled to South Korea to perform at the invitation of that country's president, and most recently appeared at the Crystal Cathedral. The women wear authentic costumes for their choreographed performance.
Tickets for the "Songs of Reconciliation" concert are $25; $10 for students and senior citizens.
Other sponsors of the event include the New Haven Symphony Orchestra, the Yale Chaplain's Office and the Asian American Cultural Center.
