Kuban Cossack Choir
-
The most precious cultural objects of the Krasnodar
Region include the State Academic Kuban Cossack Choir
the oldest and the biggest national Cossack ensemble in
Russia.
It's the only professional folk
team in the country with the un-
interrupted successive history
that dates back to the early 19th
century. Brilliancy, singularity, spir-
its and the utmost excellence of
the Kuban Cossack Choir has won
the hearts of spectators in many
countries of the world. In a way,
the Kuban Cossack Choir is a his-
torical landmark that has depicted
military and cultural reclamation of
Kuban, the history of classical sec-
ular and spiritual culture of Yekat-
erinodar, tragic events of the Civil
War, and the 1930s, the history of
the Soviet Grand Style Aesthetics
in the form of culture and arts. The
choir introduces both the history
of certain individuals and the rou-
tine of singing and musical culture
of Kuban, and historical heroic
events and the incredible drama of
the Cossacks that are inseparable
from the Russian history. In 2011,
the Kuban Cossack Choir celebrat-
ed its 200th anniversary.
