Kuban Cossack Khor.

200 years of history. The songs of the Cossacks - not the horse march, not the walking out of the "Marusya, time, two, three ..." with a well-brain point. 1811 - a year of creating a first choir team in Russia. A lively historical monument that carried through the century Kuban history and the singular traditions of the Cossack troops. Attokov stood the spiritual enlightener of Kuban Archpriest Kirill Rossinsky and Regent Grigory Grechinsky. From the middle of the nineteenth century, the team not only participated in worships, but also gave secular concerts in the spirit of the reckless Cossack Volnitsa and, for Yesenin, - "Merry Toski".

Choir named Mitrofan Pyatnitsky

The team, already a century proudly called himself "peasant". And even today professional artists are on the stage, and not ordinary hollow peasants-Velikorsosa from Ryazan, Voronezh and other provinces, - the choir represents a folk song in an amazing harmony and its glory. Each speech causes admiration, as a hundred years ago. The first concert of the peasant choir took place in the hall of the noble assembly. Spectators, including Rachmaninov, Shalyapin, Bunin, left after speaking shocked.

Northern People's Khor.

Simple rural teacher Antonina Kolotilov lived in Veliky Ustyug. Behind the needlework collected folk song lovers. February evening sewed underwear for the orphanage: "Smooth, soft light that has fallen from the lightning lamp, created a special comfort. And the February bad weather raged outside the window, the wind whistled in the pipe, thundered on the roof boards, threw snow flakes into the window. From this inconsistency between the warmth of the cozy room and the upgrade of the snow blizzard was a little diligently in the soul. And suddenly the song sounded, sad, stretching ... " So the northern entanglements sounds - 90 years. Already from the scene.

Ryazan People's Choir named Evgeny Popova

Yesenian songs. In the homeland of the main singer of the land of Russian and sing his poems. Melodic, shrill, exciting. Where white birch is not the tree, not the girl frozen on the high bank of the Oka. And the poplar certainly "silver and light". A chorus was created on the basis of a rural folk ensemble of the village of Large Zhuravinka, speaking since 1932. Ryazan's choru was lucky. The head of the team Evgeny Popov himself wrote music to the poems surprisingly felt the beauty of the countryman. Sing these songs - as if talking about your life. Heat and gently.

Siberian folk choir

Choir, ballet, orchestra, children's studio. The Siberian Choir is multifaceted and consonant with a frosty wind. The concert program "Yamchitsky Tale" is based on a musical, song and choreographic material of the Siberian Territory, like many stage sketches of the team. Siberian's creativity was seen in 50 countries around the world - from Germany and Belgium to Mongolia and Korea. What live, about and sing. First, in Siberia, and then across the country. As it came out with the song Nikolai Kudrin "Bread - the whole head", which first sounded performed by the Siberian choir.

Voronezh Russian People's Choir named Konstantin Massalitinova

Songs in the front-line strip in those hard days when, it would seem, not at all before creativity. Voronezh Choir appeared in the working village Anna at the height of the Great Patriotic War - in 1943. The first to heard the songs of the new team in military units. The first big concert - with tears in his eyes - passed in the Voronezh liberated from Germans. In the repertoire - lyrical songs and chastushki, which in Russia know and love. Including thanks to the most famous soloist of the Voronezh Choir - Maria Mordasova.

Volzhsky People's Choir named after Peter Miloslavov

"On the stage of the Shatle theater, the steppe wind walks and comes to us the aroma of original songs and dances," - Written the French newspaper L'Umanite in 1958. Samara-town presented the French Song Heritage of the Volga region. Artist - Volzhsky People's Choir, created by the decision of the Government of the RSFSR in 1952 by Peter Miloslavov. Surprise and mental life along the shores of the Great Volga and on the stage. In the team, Ekaterina Shavrin began his creative path. Performed by Volzhsky Choir first sounded the song "Snow Whole Cherry".

Omsk folk choir

Bear with balalaica. The emblem of the famous team is well known in Russia, and abroad. "The love and pride of the Earth of the Siberian", how they dubbed the team of criticism in one of the overseas trips. "Omsk People's Choir do not call only the restorer and the keeper of the old folk song. He himself - the living embodiment of the folk art of our days, " - Written British The Daily Telegraph. The repertoire is based on Siberian songs recorded by the founder of the team of Elena Kalugina half a century ago and bright pictures from life. For example, Suite "Winter Siberian Fun".

Ural folk choir

Performances on fronts and hospitals. Ural not only gave the country metal, but also raised the martial spirit by vortex dances and rounds, the richest folk material of the Earth Urals. Under the Sverdlovsk philharmonic, the amateur groups of the surrounding villages of Izmodenovo, Pokrovskoe, Katarach, Laya. "Our genre is alive"- They say in the team today. And keep this life consider the main task. As the famous Ural Seven. "Destroees" and "drums" on stage have been 70 years. Not dance, but a dance. Hasic and removal.

Orenburg People's Khor.

Pooh handkerchief as part of a stage costume. Fluffy lace in intertwining with folk songs and in the dance - as part of the life of the Orenburg Cossacks. The team was created in 1958 to preserve the unique culture and rites that are "on the edge of Russia extensive, along the Urals of the Shores." Each speech is like a performance. Performed not only songs that the people folded. Even the dancing is a literary basis. "When Cossacks are crying" - the choreographic composition based on the story of Mikhail Sholokhov from the life of Stanniknikov. However, nor a song or dance is their own story.

Folklore Land Ryazanskaya

Wide and immense Ryazan Dali. Affectionately whispering about something with a light dungement of the breeze endless Meshchersky forests. Among the blooming meadows, flows its pure water leisurely blue eyella. How many talents gave and surprised this land, and which songs live in the soul of people here, in the heart of Russia!
All the original features of the song tradition of the Ryazan Territory carefully keeps the Ryazan choir, the basis of the repertoire of which is vintage songs. They sound the soul of the people - then sad and thoughtful, then tender and loving, moving fortunately. The chorus and soloists manage to convey the color of each heft with great accuracy and accuracy. And today, as before, the Creative Creative Credio remains unchanged - the rebirth, the preservation and development of the richest folk traditions of the native land and Russian People's Pefic culture.
The choir was created in 1946 on the basis of the folk ensemble of the village of Large Juravinka Ryazhsky district of the Ryazan region. His founder and the first artistic director Irina Ivanovna Koshilkina managed to create a professional choir of Russian folk song from the amateur team. Since 1950, the head of the Khora is becoming a native of the Old-Friend district, a graduate of the Moscow State Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky Evgeny Grigorievich Popov, whose name later was assigned to the team. E.G. Popov subtly and carefully treated the sources of the song creativity of the native land. They were recorded and treated hundreds of melodies included in the Golden Fund of the repertoire of the Ryazan Folk Chora. The sound of the choir is unique and peculiar. It is characterized by warmth, incessia and penetrated lyrics, so characteristic of the Russian soul. And the same unique song is part of the musical treasury of Russia, songs that are folded in the "Berezovsky Citz country". Choran and dance traditions of the native side carefully preserve. Ryazan folklore underlies dance and vocal choreographic paintings.

Koshokhina Irina Ivanovna, a native of the village of Large Juravinka, a self-taught musician, a woman with a big creative will and organizational abilities, headed Zhuravinsky Choir, and then Ryazan People's Choir

Unbless already the 30s, Ryazan depth. And here, in the village of Big Yuvinka of the Ryazhsky district, the local peasants are going to diet. Yes, not on Zavaling. Not behind the Occolic in the dance. Not at the gatherings, but in the choir. Time is so predetermined - it's not a smaller song Russian. In fairness, it is worth saying, perhaps that at that time in the Ryazhsky district there were a lot of other rural choral groups: Fofanovsky, for example, Entit'evsky ... But the greatest success fell to the share of Zhuvintsev - they were valued for a special Manera singing - with a ringing, "flight "Sound, with colorful pegs and a unique repertoire - from" his village ".
In those years, the choir "played" (in many Ryazan and Russian villages still say not to "sing", and "play") a small number of singers, natives of the village. And the first public speech of Zhuravintsev took place in 1932 and caused the most lively interest.
And from the 30s, this original team was headed by Irina Ivanovna Koshilkina, famous in the village of Pevunya and the writer of Chastushki. She determined his further fate. All pre-war years choir was noticeable (and noted repeatedly) in various regional views, often invited him to Moscow to creative Olympiads (there were such earlier), where the cravings, representing Ryazan land, showed their depth-Russian national executing art.
And the zhugravintsy was called the idlers - "chorus of the Karl Marx collective farm."
In those years, the basis of the repertoire of the choir was the favorite songs of the village of Big Zhuravinka: "Oh, yes, the Red Sun," sowed the girls Lyon "," Ryabina-Ryabinushka ". The author's songs willingly and the author's songs, as if they were told, the period of collective farm construction: this was life ...
During the Great Patriotic War, the singer of the Juravinsky Choir Gorbunov and Korolkova with a bayanist flyev in a concert brigade drove a lot on front roads, several months opposed the fighters of the Red Army in difficult conditions, with risk to life ...
... And now the year 46th, which can be called a fateful (I do not beat the word) in the life of the choir! On October 27, 1946, by decision of the regional council, the Zhuravinsky Choir of the Russian Song was "translated" in the number of professional, becoming the State Ryazan Russian People's Choir. And Irina Irina Ivanovna Koshilkin became the first professional artistic director. For she, it was now a difficult and responsible task: to lead the team on an unfamiliar before the path - professional execution.
From the first days, she for the main thing took the most careful attitude to local singing traditions. However, this role in a new one for her, of course, speaking frankly, was little. It was hard for her to master the musical letter, but she, realizing the need for this in work, was persistent and tireless. Rides in the Tula region, in the city of Venovev, studying there on courses of musical education ...
Irina Ivanovna a lot at this time rides the villages, collects songs, genuine folk costumes of the Ryazan Territory - everything is for the formation of a native choir. At the same time, the folk Russian songs were recorded, which we now know and perform, such as "oh, yes on the edge of the forester", "Oh, walk, girls, time", "Sit Drem", "under the roof of the sparrow" and Many, many others: djord, wedding, comic, dance! And now 90 years, it turns out, from the day of her birth. And on my desktop in the office still lying "desk books", field notes Irina Ivanovna - notebooks with music recordings of Ryazan songs that she did during their trips.
I can not not mention how Irina Irina Ivanovna Koshkina with a choir, according to the principles of folk improvisation worked. In the classroom, asked singers to "look for their own voices." It is typical for the traditional folk performance of the songs.
Continued, they were not forgotten (and this is especially important) the tradition of collecting a song folklore, begun by Irina Ivanovna Koshkin. In the first years of his creative work in the choir Evgeny Grigorievich Popov invariably addressed the folklore material collected by Irina Ivanovna. At that time, remaining in the team consultant on Folklore, in every way supported his interest in the origins of popular execution. And those of its notebooks, which are now in the cultural baggage of our choir, constantly turned them off.

(From an interview with A.A. Kozyrev)

"Purchase from the main song Arina Koshkinina" - a documentary film about the life and creative path of Irina Ivanovna Koshkinina. The film is first introduced as part of the seventh Gareth readings and is devoted to the upcoming 100-year anniversary of Irina Koshkinina.

Evgeny Grigorievich Popov - Choir Conductor, Composer, People's Artist of the RSFSR, Pupil K. B. Birds, artistic director of Ryazan folk choir

His fate can be envied. In the village of Gulcans, on Ryazanchin, where in the family of rural paramedic Gregory Aristarchovich Popova he was born, the song was in honor. They sang in the house, sang in the winter day at the gatherings in the neighboring hollow, sang by the Ocean in the Spring and Summer Nights. If you judge by family memories, the culprit was just a neighbor - a carpenter, the first to the village of Dancers and a musician. In a sign of deep reverence to the local Feldeshra, he made it for his four-year-old son balalaika in three strings. Parents were surprised not for the childish serious attitude of the little fury to a new toy. But, noticing how to mature, the boy still stretches to musical instruments, the singing of rustic women can listen for hours, the parents understood: their son is forever lost for medicine, technology, science and many other spheres of human activity. It was a happy loss: I won the song from her.
The joyful opening of Russian song wealth was accompanied by E. Popov and in his native village, and in the Ryazan Music School, and in the Moscow State Conservatory. But not everything was easy and joyful. At that very day, when the entrance exams in the Conservatory E. Popov passed Solfeggio and Harmony, the girl ran into the audience and exhaled: "War ..."
And Popov put on a soldier sinel. He served in the Far East, participated in the war with Japan. And, demobilized from the part, the next day appeared to the conservatory. He was reasonably noticed: "On the street February, classes began in September, so come next year." Helped a happy accident. The deputy dean of the Carrier-Choir Faculty was visited by the study part: "Popov? Perfectly remember you on pre-war entrance exams. Laying in the archive your old examination sheet. But the course is engaged for five months. Can you catch up? "
Popov managed. Engaged at 14 o'clock per day. The practice was held in the Bolshoi Theater, which became for him a real school of Russian singing culture.
Having received a diploma with honors, a talented conductor, the young composer E. Popov refuses the flattering proposal to engage in pedagogical activities in the Saratov Conservatory and happily agrees to lead Nobody known in those years Ryazan Russian folk choir. The chorus at the time was worried about the difficult period: there were no premises for rehearsals, housing, lacked the basics of musical letters. The team was based in the village of Zhuravinka of the Ryazhsky district, and Ryazan came as if on tour. Chorus melting. For the arrival of E. Popov, 14 people remained in it. Thanks to the organizational ability, E. Popov after a week choir received a hostel in Ryazan, the scene of one of the factory clubs for classes. In a short time, the team was equipped. They began to engage in a notebook, music history.
One after another follows organized folklore expeditions.

Evgeny Grigorievich gathered about 300 songs of the Ryazan Territory. More than 100 songs are processed by the composer and are executed by Ryazan Choir, causing admiration for the listeners. And today they sound "You are Ryakina Lee", "Oh, yes, the Red Sun", "Ryabina-Ryabinushka" ...
In 2001, the State Academic Ryazan Russian People's Choir is honored by the name of its legendary artistic director - Evgenia Popova. Evgeny Popov forever entered the history of Russian musical culture.

"The happy person who once wakes up from the Bolshak on the parcels, will see the overgrown pond from his native sidewalks, blackened from bad weather, where he is familiar with every knot in the brass woven flooring, and suddenly he will feel, will understand the heart that Russia cannot serve, without serving native places " - said E.G. Popov.

The pearl of the repertoire of the Ryazan Choir, the business card is not only the choir, but also the song of Evgeny Popova on the verses of Sergey Yesenin "over the window of the month"

In the repertoire of the choir, songs on the verses of Sergey Yesenin, the music to which E. Popov wrote the music. That's what he said: "Sergey Yesenin is not only a great Russian poet, but also a dear, close countryman. Uniquely singing to them our Ryazan nature. In verses, his mass of our Ryazan words, revolutions, expressions, and most importantly, the soul of the people lives in Esenin's poetry, each line of his poems is permeated with love for his native land. "
And the bustor of the dawn, and the wave splash, and the silver moon, and the rustling of the cane, and the immense heavenly blue, and the blue church of the lakes - the whole beauty of the native land over the years was in poems, full of love for Russian land.
From the penetrated poems about the "country of the Birch Sitz", the width of its steppe split, blue of lakes, the noise of green dubbing to the disturbing thought about the fate of Russia in the "harsh terrible years", each Esheninsky image, each Yeseninsky line of warming of endless love of his homeland.
Yesenin knew Russian poetry, especially appreciated the poems that became folk songs, dreamed, so that his poetry "absorbed into the flesh of the people." Many composers addressed and appeal to Esenin's poetry.
A significant part of the repertoire of the Ryazan Chora is the songs of the poems of Sergey Yesenin - this is not only a tribute to the Great Countryman, but also an inexhaustible source of inspiration for composers, performers and listeners.
The first song E. Popova on the verses of S. Yesenin "Bereza" appeared in 1956. The composer recalls: "This is one of the early works of the poet created by him at the age of 15. Russian nature is drawn in it, I would even say Ryazan nature: a winter landscape in very light, soft colors ... and I sought to write light music too, lyrical, so that and birch was our, Ryazan, not only by poems, but also on music. "
Songs on the poems of Sergey Yesenin is the tribute to Ryazan Choir the Grand Countryman and an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
"One of the poetic miracles of S. Yesenin," says the composer, "this is the mature poetry of a man who has ever seen, who has been far from his homeland, but who preserved live and tremendous love for his native land in the shower. Creating a song on these verses, I sought to carefully preserve all of their charm, rich poetic subtext. "
Singing the great Russian poet the beauty of the "Birch Citz countries", her beautiful people gained the second musical, scenic life in the art of Ryazan Russian folk choir. These are traditional folk songs of the Ryazan Territory in excellent musical processing of the legendary leaders of the choir - E.G. Popova and A.A. Kozyreva. The magnificent song lyrics on the poems of Sergey Yesenina composers of the Ryazan land - Evgenia Popova, Alexander Ermakova, Georgy Galakhov, the brightest musical heritage of our countryman, composer Alexander Averkin.
The choir performs all the songs written by our Russian poet from the Ryazan Region Sergey Yesenin. Chorus from Ryazan sings the songs of his great countrymen! And near Ryazan, Konstantinovo village, where Sergei Yesenin was born and grew up.

"Over the window of the month. Under the wind window. Flowered poplar silver and leveled ... "- comes from the song receiver. And from the fingers of the legs, the hands, from the roots of the hair, from each cell of the body rises to the heart of the blood droplet, rolling it, fills with tears and bitter delight, want to run somewhere, hug someone living, repent before the whole world or clog corner And get over the whole bitterness, what is in the heart, and the one that will be still in it. " Plilass the feelings that fucked on him, the author concluded his confession with the words: "Shadow's caps, Russia! Yesenina sing! " (Viktor Astafiev)

State Academic Ryazan Russian People's Choir named after E. Popova is the pearl of Russian culture

Today, the team is a synthesis of three directions of population art: vocal choral, dance and instrumental, where every performer is a professional artist and has special training and education.
Creative choir - preservation, development and rebirth on the scene of the richest heritage of folklore traditions and modern author's music in the genre of popular execution.
Greater creative activity in the status of public folk choir is aimed at maintaining the local original manner of singing, the recording and processing of Ryazan folklore and the search for new works corresponding to the criteria of genuine art.
Among the new rooms - "Ryazan's festive", the song of the Sarajevsky district "barrel". The speakers and the rear were added vocal-choreographic paintings on the topics of Ryazan crafts prepared for the Slavic Horovod Festival. Bondari, blacksmiths, carpenters, Mikhailovsky lace, were appeared in the productions ... Most of all struck, perhaps the number "Gonchars". Clay, a potted circle, the process of birth at the hands of a master of artwork - it's amazing that all this can be shown through the dance. The composition once already conquered the hearts of the audience and now returned to the scene. A constant search for new expressive drugs, led to the creation of compositions based on elements of folk crafts: "Mikhailovskoe lace", "Skopinsky potters."

Singer of another edge Vladimir Soloohin wrote: "You can take a nightingry of a different pich tug for TRELL, until you suddenly hear the true singer of the Russian forest. It is impossible to make a mistake here. So trills are perfect and unique. "

Northern Russian People's Choir - Soul White Sea

Arkhangelsk Pomra - descendants of the ancient Novgorod, who settled this edge in ancient times. Their art has still been preserved in his primacy. This kind of artistic world with its own laws and concepts of beauty. At the same time, in the songs and dances of the North, the humor, inner temperament, internal temperament, are pronounced in the songs and dances of the North. Northern song art is special, it is distinguished by the rigor of style, chaste purity and restraint, all this connects with a courageous epic and volitional start.
The north choir is rightly called the pearl of Russian culture. For 85 years of its existence, he never changed his role. Each speech is a special feature world and a bright dynamic presentation: large plot productions, vocal-choreographic compositions, paintings by folk holidays. All sound shades of the northern nature are heard in the song polyphony of the choir: thoughtful taiga spell, smooth chastity rivers, the bustling depth of the ocean and the transparent trepacy of white nights.

Antonina Yakovlevna Kolotilova - founder and artistic director of the State Academic Northern Russian People's Choir (1926 - 1960), People's Artist of the RSFSR, Honored Artist of the RSFSR, Winner of the USSR State Prize

"Who does not love his native song, he does not like his native people!" (A.Ya. Kolotilova)

Antonina Yakovlevna Kolotilova (Sherstova) was born in 1890 in the village of Zhilino, not far from the old town of Great Ustyug.
In 1909, Kolotilov graduated with honors from the Velikyustugian female gymnasium and left for the rural school in the village of Palagin Nikolsky County of the Vologda province. It is in this village Antonina Kolotilov began to show a professional interest in folklore. She always watched the northern rituals with interest, listened to the song, he herself learned to be made, magnificent, hesitated the manner of movements of girls and women in dances, cadryls, bows.
Kolotilova, born and grown in the north of Russia, deeply loved his native land, especially the detriment of the filler meadows at the time of flowering herbs.
In 1914, Antonina Yakovlevna marries and moved to Nikolsk. There she works as a teacher in a folk school and continues to collect and record local songs, tales, chastushki. Congenital artistic dating helped a young girl easily to master the culture and manner of execution.
After 5 years, Kolotilov moved to Veliky Ustyug. It was in this old Russian northern city that the history of the Northern Choir begins. Here Antonina Yakovlevna organizes an amaterable female ensemble, which acts in clubs, and a little later, on the broadcast radio station opened in the city. I must say that the first participants in the team were mostly housewives. They could easily come to her apartment, satisfied collective diet, studied the stories of their songs. The listeners with approval met the concerts of young chores, and performances on the radio made a group very popular. In the amateur choir, Kolotilile at that time there were about 15 people.

"Antonina Yakovlevna fully earned the love of the people and the glory about himself, because all the strength and thoughts, inexhaustible energy and the passion of the soul gave folk singing and the chorus created by it ... If there were no place in the light of this wonderful woman - there would be no our northern Russian folk choir! " (Nina Konstantinovna Meshko)

Birth of northern choir

In 1922, in Moscow at the recording studio, Antonina Yakovlevna meets Mitrofan Pyatnitsky. It was this meeting that became a sign for kolotil. Acquaintance with the work of Choir Pyatnitsky served as a impetus to the creation of his own folk choir of northern songs. On March 8, 1926, a small amateur team first performed at the House of Enlightenment Workers. This day was the birthday of the Northern Russian Folk Chora.
At first, the choir was ethnographic, but then the conditions of scenic life were required by organizational and creative restructuring: a dance group appeared, bayanists. In 1952, an orchestral group by the efforts of composer V.A. was organized as part of the choir Laptev.
The collective was then there were only 12 singers. Costumes served outfits mothers and grandmothers - real peasant sundresses and blouses. The first harmonists were the brothers ragitsna Boris and Dmitry, as well as the younger brother Antonina Yakovlevna Valery Sobkov. Party at rehearsals were learned from the votes of the artistic director. Antonina Yakovlevna not only showed how to sing, but also how necessary to move correctly, bow and keep yourself on stage.
The newly created chorus was always warm at the enterprises of the city, in educational institutions, surrounding villages. The status of the amateur team did not interfere with the kolotilive work seriously, carefully belonging to the northern song and accurately reproducing the manner of her performance! She never changed these requirements in the future. In the first years, the choir performed mostly ancient folk songs, which singer - former peasants, indigenous residents of the North - knew from childhood, owned not only by performing skills, but also a folk improvisational manner. No wonder the North Choir for many years was considered the most ethnographically reliable, consistent in his creative line, saving the traditions of the northern song, and singers choir always distinguished the ability to penetrate into the depths of the musical image and embody it in unique beauty.
In 1931, Kolotilov organizes a chorus in Arkhangelsk already in a larger scale, both by the number of participants and the volume of the repertoire. Concert programs include the songs of the Pineja, Northern Pomegrania, dresses and household scenes are diverse. Kolotilova's richest musical material collects itself during trips to various areas of the Arkhangelsk region. At the same time, costumes for the participants of the choir were acquired.
In 1935, traveling on Pomera, Antonina Yakovlevna met with Martha Semenov Kryukov - a famous narrower. Kolotilova achieved Kryukov to participate in the first All-Union Radiofestival (1936). In the future, Marfa Kryukova went along with the Northern Choir to Moscow, where, together with Antonina, Yakovlyovna worked on the first to say.
In addition to the epic, the choir programs have always included merry, dance, comic songs-scrocers, leading from the art of stray musicians, and broaching lyrical, which singers performed in a touching and implanting manner.
During the war, the team concert a lot. Moved in the rebel, they lived the injignment, it was not satisfied, then it was saved from bombing. We left for the Northern Fleet, in Murmansk, Polar, on the Karelian Finnish front, to the Urals. In 1944 left for half a year at the Far East.


Antonina Kolotilova: "I love my native north and I sing songs!"

Until 1960 Antonina Yakovlevna remained the artistic director of the team. All the years of the work of Kolotilov was filled with tireless, difficult labor and creative burning, sincere desire to preserve and transfer to contemporaries to the depth of the identity and beauty of the national creativity of the Northern Territory, the permanent search for all the new stage forms and performing funds. The life of Kolotilova was a genuine creative feat, and the traditions of alive in the team laid it.

Little Nina independently mastered the game on the piano, he studied the elementary theory of music, solfeggio. And she was so captured by the world of music that she decided: only music and nothing else! And therefore, at least not doubting, Nina Mescheko enters the Music School named after the October Revolution, and at the end of the Moscow Conservatory on the Conductor-Choir Faculty.

And then she is a living, continuously developing, renewable, reborn from the ash ... The people are on the culture of its traditional, the people hold the root. "

Confession

Sorry forgive me, Lord,
For what to do
And in the bustle of day care
I did not have time to give away debts.
I did not have time to give
Someone's gaze, someone cares
One did not ease pain
Another did not tell a fairy tale.
In front of native in a sorrowful hour
Not committed Perekaya
And thorough in the community
Did not put the laying.
Loving friends often have them
Herself involuntarily offended
And seeing the sorrows of others
I run away from suffering.
I rush greedily to the sky,
But the load of concerns is going to the ground.
I want to give a piece of bread -
And forget on the table.
I know everything I have to
But did not fulfill the covenant ...
Forgive me, Lord,
For all, for everything, for all for it?
