RTS Choir with conductor Vladimir Gorbik at BEMUS

The Radio Television of Serbia Choir of Serbia with conductor Vladimir Gorbik, will hold a concert as part of this year’s BEMUS on Friday, October 26, in the Crypt of the Saint Sava Temple, starting at 7 p.m. The audience will have the opportunity to hear the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom by Pavel Chesnokov, which has a special place among the 500 spiritual choral compositions in his work as well as in Russian and European choral literature.
Vladimir Gorbik is one of the most respected Russian conductors of the middle generation. He is also very active as a composer and lecturer at pedagogical and interpretatively demanding master workshops and seminars for orchestral musicians and conductors, especially for choir conductors and singers, in the Russian Federation, USA, Australia, and Uzbekistan.
The RTS Choir is the only professional ensemble of this type in Serbia. Today, its repertoire includes the most significant choral pieces, complex vocal-instrumental and opera pieces, and it nurtures the music of popular genres. The ensemble actively performs contemporary domestic and foreign pieces of music, some of them premiering works dedicated to the Choir itself. It persists with expanding its repertoire, through collaborations with the other ensembles of the RTS Music Production, enhancing the already abundant collection of the Sound Archive with new, interpretationally modernized recordings. The wide range of artistic aspirations positions the RTS Choir as a renowned ensemble, with a recognizable sound and performing reputation, and as an active participant of the Serbian music scene.
