It’s good that the guys from the St. Sergius of Radonezh gymnasium came to sing at the opening immediately after the prayer service and lessons. The new hall probably sounds much better than the old one. I wonder what kind of choral numbers they performed?

Nice to see the kids from St. Sergius school head straight from the morning moleben and first lessons to sing at the opening. Martin, I was wondering the same thing – did they do any Russian sacred pieces or stick to something more festive for the new hall? The old building was pretty cramped, so this must feel like a big upgrade for everyone.

Yes, that was a nice idea to go right after the Morb and the first few hours. I heard they sang “Тебе поем” and a few Russian folk songs – it certainly sounded really good in the new hall. Do you know if high school students take part in such city events more often?
