Svetilen
Wednesday July 18th - To Be Confirmed
An opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Russian “Soul Folk” music with the ethereal sound of Svetilen, ancient sacred music performed side by side with liturgical, folk and modern music – and the result is breath-taking.
Musical compositions are usually presented a capella, but ancient Russian instruments (the gusli, koliosnaya lira, dudk, and hatamba) are also used, producing a particularly resonant sound.
“Svetilen doesn’t only bring old Russian music to contemporary audiences, it is also concerned about the genetic memory and the idea of national identity … and is united in their passion to restore and promote old Russian choral culture”.
