Choirs in Moscow.

In Moscow, about 15 choirs attended the children’s festival of spiritual singing, which was held at the OrthodoxSvyato-Tikhonovsky University of Humanities.

This Festival marks a very important stage in the revival and development of the spiritual tradition of choral singing in Russia, because the tradition had been severely interrupted during the Soviet period.

"The spirit of unity is the spark which skips between two people from heart to heart. Not from any organization leading with its political plans.
This is free-spoken knowledge, recognition of man, recognition of his spirit, of his faith. This knowledge is synonymous with the act of living itself".

During the 15 years of its existence the Orthodox Svyato-Tikhonovsky University has made a lot of friends in Russia and abroad. They communicate news of their events with Orthodox and non-orthodox Christians, in order to serve the enrichment of each others belief.

Thus, people come to know each other in the Faith.
Alexei Yemelyanov expressed the hope that with time the festival would become international, because this is the most direct way to gain knowledge of each other’s spiritual values.
