MOSCOW ORATORIO SOCIETY
Founded in 1993, the choir has established an annual tradition of performing Handel's 'Messiah' during Advent Under the direction of Alexander Tsaliuk, the Oratorio Society has grown and changed, undertaking new and exciting musical projects. The choir has sung a wide repertoire ranging from Bach and Handel to Mussorgsky, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Poulenc and Bernstein. It aims at presenting to Moscow's Russian and expatriate audience a balanced choice of well-known and littie-known musical compositions.
Today the Moscow Oratorio Society is a non-profit choral society composed of members of the foreign diplomatic and business communities and of many Russian nationals. All of them are amateur singers, whatever their level of musical competence, united by a love of music and a desire to sing beautiful compositions. The choir welcomes new members at the beginning of each season.
