Values are universal, regardless of the political situation
Denis Mickiewicz, founding conductor of the Yale Russian Chorus, speaks in appreciation at the 65th Anniversary Concert.
"...It makes us all come back for 65 years. I don't know any other amateur group right now that lasts that long. Because we had such a good reception from you folks, and because we like the songs! Regardless of the political situation or regardless of anything, the values are universal, I think (as Roberto said yesterday). We thank you very very much! And you saw younger conductors, and better conductors than me. So they probably will exist for another 65 years, I hope. Thank you!"
October 14, 2018, Woolsey Hall, Yale University, New Haven, USA.

Friends, welcome to our channel!
The Yale Russian Chorus is the oldest singing group in the New World dedicated to the music of Russia and nearby countries. The YRC was founded 1953 at the height of the Cold War. Founders: Denis Mickiewicz and George Litton.
Singers join while students at Yale, and many stay active throughout their lives. Every year or so we hold a major concert in which students and alumni sing together. Many alumni also join the students on tours to Russia.
The singers are not Russians, or emigrants from Russia, but are students and former students who share a passion for the music and a belief in the power of music to build connections between people of different countries.
Thanks to YouTube, we are pleased to share these recordings with online audiences around the world who share our passion for this music.

We have toured Russia and Eastern Europe many times, and we really hope that we will be able to hit the road again when the time comes 🌿
