Their activities promote the Christian vocal tradition and the Russian Orthodox church music and singing all over the world. We are trying to draw together friends of such historical art and culture by singing traditional liturgical Russian hymns like Gloria, Alleluia, Sanctus, Lord's prayer etc. using masterpieces of the famous Russian composers such as P.Tchaikovsky, S.Rahmaninov, D.Bortniansky and others. They have already achieved our success in many countries as Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the U.K. You can also go direct to St Hildas website where you'll find St Hildas Winter Magic programme.
