The Palace of Books hosted a concert of sacred music “God is with us!” on the day of remembrance of the holy martyr Longinus the centuriontranslated

On October 29, in the hall of the Noble Assembly (now the Palace of Books - Ulyanovsk Regional Scientific Library), a concert of the Mixed Choir of the Ascension Cathedral of the Savior took place under the leadership of regent Roman Khitev “God is with us!”

The listeners were greeted by the Minister of Art and Cultural Policy of the Ulyanovsk Region, Evgenia Sidorova:

— For all of us this is a festive and important day. We wish our dear Metropolitan Longin long and joyful days of life. We thank the Master for his love and caring attitude towards each of us. For the second year in a row, on October 29, we meet here to enjoy the wonderful high choral art. It so happened that Ulyanovsk does not have its own professional choir. Therefore, those moments are especially important for us when we can come to a concert of the Mixed Choir of the Ascension Cathedral and listen to professionally performed sacred music and folk songs.

The concert program was composed of both liturgical chants and secular works from different times and stylistic trends. It included works by Russian spiritual composers, modern authors, arrangements of folk and Cossack songs.…
