Russkaya Cappella's anniversary project

In conjunction with Russkaya Cappella’s 10th anniversary, in 2019, they have embarked on a big project – they are recording their first CD, to contain Kastalsky’s ‘Requiem for Fallen Brothers’ with the orchestral part arranged for string quintet by Graham Hair.  They are planning to record a second CD, to include highlights from our repertoire, and to publish the music of a selection of items from their repertoire as well as a booklet about the choir.
Carrying out these projects will require considerable funding, and they hope that you will be willing to lend us your support.  Their bank details are as follows:
