Sometime in June I made a post about Zoa Alexandrovna Tompson and how her Glier Choir won International Choir Grand Prix in Serbia.
On Dec 9th her choir celebtrated 10th anniversary. The Glier Choir consists of students mostly 17 to 19 years old. Zoa invited me for the anniversary concert. The Choir was also presented a distinguished Shevchenko medal for achievment. I enjoyed the concert immensly. Also made few photos and clips.
The favourite was "Коломийка" (Kolomyjka).
It's a folk dance song and I danced with a camera while recording it.
It was great concert. At the end - to celebrate 10th anniversary - there was a huge cake - in shape of a choir.

Hi, I liked your post. Did you mean Glier Choir from College (Kiev Glier Institute of Music)? Do they have a web site?
Best wishes,

Hi, Kirill thanks for your comment.
That's the choir. The students made a bulletin board indicating that official website is: www.glierchoir.com. But I could not find it on the net. Will send you a photo from bulletin board on your email. It was an excellent concert.
How come Moscow has a Gliere Museum but not Kiev? Or there is one in Kiev - but I do not know yet? Gordie
Our museum is just a memorial, in the house where he lived most of his life! I haven't been in Kiev for several years now, but as far as I remember - they has some museum or memorial room inside the Glier Institute of Music. Please, ask them! And you're welcome to Moscow!
