The Kuban Cossack Choir is one of the oldest and largest national groups.
This is a one-of-a-kind professional team leading its history from the 19th century. It should be noted that the second in chronology of the oldest folk groups is the Russian folk choir. Pyatnitsky, who played his first concert during the century of the Cossack choir.
The songs of the Kuban Cossack Choir show a level of skill recognized all over the world and confirmed by a huge number of invitations to domestic and foreign tours, accompanied by a crowded hall and positive reviews from the press. This is a kind of historical monument that conveys the history of the spiritual and secular culture of Yekaterinodar, which also reflects the tragic events of the Civil War. The Kuban Cossack Choir presents both the historical aspects of individuals combined with the everyday musical and singing culture of the Kuban, and the dramatic side of the Cossacks as a whole, which can be accepted as an integral part of Russian history.
History of the creation of artcollective
1811 is considered to be the beginning of the creative path of the Black Sea Military Choir under the leadership of the Kuban spiritual enlightener Archpriest Kirill Rossinsky and choir director Grigory Grechinsky. In 1861 it was renamed into the Military Kuban Singing Choir. It was from this period that the current Kuban Cossack choir began not only to take part in divine services in the church, but also to give secular concerts, performing along with spiritual and folk songs, as well as classical works. From 1921 to 1935 his work was suspended. And only in 1936, the corresponding Decree of the Presidium of the Azov-Chernomorsky Regional Executive Committee confirmed the creation of the choir, known by its modern name.
Today, the artistic director of this choir is Viktor Garilovich Zakharchenko, who compiled about fourteen collections of Cossack songs that disappeared from art in the Kuban. It was the Kuban Cossack Choir and its repertoire that contributed to the creation of an anthology of Kuban song folklore. Today there is a whole institution under the same name - the State Scientific and Creative Association "Kuban Cossack Choir". This is the only organization in Russia in the field of culture, which is comprehensively and systematically engaged in the revival of folk culture.
Very often the Kuban Cossack Choir performs in Moscow, thanks to which its art was awarded quite high awards andvictories at music competitions both in Russia itself and in foreign countries. According to foreign critics, the choir, being a representative of Russian culture, performs on an equal footing, at an equally high level with such groups as the Bolshoi Theater and the State Philharmonic Orchestra (St. Petersburg).

Stage persona: concept, image formation, costume selection, work with actors and the concept of role
Acting is a very subtle science. Talent is given to units, and it is possible to show it (and to the viewer - to consider) only on stage. If an artist plays in real time, and not in front of the camera, if at this moment the viewer holds his breath, he cannot tear himself away from the performance, then there is a spark, there is talent. Among themselves, the actors call it a little differently - a stage image. This is part of the artist's personality, his theatrical embodiment, but this is not a person's character and not his lifestyle
