Choir Mlada. Our city is famous for its amateur groups among them “Yarmarka”, “Lyallen”, “Bibigon”, “Karavai” and others. But no wonder the only one youths’ choir is “Mlada”. Laureate of international and Russian choral competition and festivals, the Academic Choir “Mlada” was created in Perm’s Second Music School, in 1989. It comprises three age groups of pupils and graduates of this school:the younger group: Choir “Mlada”the middle group: Classic Choir “Mlada” the elder group: Mixed Academic Choir “Mlada”.Last year the youngest group Mladeshenka became the boom of the 8th festival. It was common happiness. As well as the meeting at the railway station when the middle group returned from the international contest of Arezzo. And the seniors sang songs. The Choir performs concerts regularly in Russia ( Moscow, St. Petersburg) and elsewhere (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden). The Choir includes more than 200 works of different styles and periods in its repertoire: classic and modern Russian spiritual music, West European classics, transcriptions of Russian folk music, choral transcriptions of classic and modern popular music, instrumental music, jazz. In its 16 years of existence, the Choir has recorded a collection of 20 thematic concert programmes available on CD and DVD. Its stylistic diversity enables the Academic Choir to transmit the language of musical art to almost any audience, irrespective of the level of the listener’s experience, age or musical taste.Olga Vyguzova is an art director and founder of the Academic Choir “Mlada”.
