WELCOME TO RUSSKAYA CAPPELLA

Russkaya Cappella, Scotland’s Russian choir located in Glasgow, is the only one in the UK specializing in Russian choral music all genres. We are a mixed chamber choir with a richly varied repertoire, both accompanied and a-cappella which ranges from choral miniatures to grand oratorios. Careful attention is paid to maintaining a high standard both musically and linguistically.

If you wish to experience first hand an authentic interpretation of Russian music, please join us on one of our concerts or come sing with us.

We warmly welcome new singers. The ability to read music or to be able to pick things up quickly is desirable; however, words are written as they sound and there is plenty of help available on request.

We rehearse on Thursday from 7.15pm-9.30pm in the Unitarian Church near the Mitchell Library.

There is no audition, just a few scales to find out your vocal range. If you would like to come to a rehearsal and see what we are like, please contact us.
