Is it simply coincidence or LSP chooses the best musicians to work with?
Two of Our Stars choir, the Nidaros Cathedral Men and Boys Choir (https://www.lichastelaus.com/nidarosdomens-guttekor) and Saint Marc Children's Choir (https://www.lichastelaus.com/les-petits-chanteurs-de-saintmarc) performed at Moscow's International House of Music Svetlanov Hall within few weeks of each other! Both concerts were so well received the audiences joined in the singers at the lobby after the concerts. Below are videos and photos of the wonderful journeys experienced by both choirs.

The 1,000 years young Nidaros Choir was invited to the IX Moscow Christmas Festival of Sacred Music and performed on 26 January 2019. The performances were of classical and sacred music as well as choral repertoires showcasing the wonderful voices of the men and boys. Yes, it's taxing to think that a choir can be this old. Newly found documents revealed that in the year 1,030 AD, when ancient leader, King St Olav, died and was buried in the old wooden chapel on today's Cathedral site, a group of priests and boys sang at the secret funeral. This singing in the Services continued since then. Today we are 11 years from the Millennium of this monumental history.
