Russian men’s group sings for eighth year

The St. Petersburg Men’s Ensemble of Russia will return for its eighth annual performance at Christ Church, with the a cappella quartet presenting an all-new program ranging from classical music to Russian folk songs at 7 p.m. Friday at the church at 6 Dane St.

Vocalists Kiril Sokolov, Sergey Shapinsky, Andrei Volikov and Vadim Smantser, liturgical cantors at home in Russia, formed the ensemble in 2003 to expand the limits of vocal music. With just four performers and no accompaniment, the ensemble presents complex works generally performed by much larger groups. Their repertoire encompasses various epochs and styles, from ancient Russian chants to Western European chorales to contemporary compositions, along with Russian folk songs, and both secular and religious music.

The suggested donation for the concert is $15, or $10 cash for older adults and students, or whatever one can give. Children under 12 years old are welcome at no charge. Proceeds will benefit the missions of Christ Church: supporting the homeless, the hungry, needy children, battered women, refugees, addiction recovery and disaster relief. The event is cash only.

The building is entirely handicapped-accessible from the parking lot behind Town Hall, and it also has a parking lot across from Dane Street. For more information, go to www.christchurchkennebunk.org.
