The Dmitry Pokrovsky ensemble, created in 1973 by D.V. Pokrovsky (a great musician, artist, scientist and researcher), became the first collective in the world to combine genuine scientific study of folklore with professional performance, and folk music traditions with modern musical culture.
The ensemble school for the development of folk singing, based on the study of the traditional technology of sound production, is still one of a kind. The masterly possession of different folk singing styles, the organic combination of traditional and author's music using the principles of live improvisation is the visiting card of the Dmitry Pokrovsky Ensemble.
Each program of the Ensemble is a kind of musical performance, whether it is a question of classical works, spiritual or song-ritual music. Authentic folk costumes, songs, games and ceremonies brought by the ensemble artists from numerous folklore expeditions in Russia, allow the viewer to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a real folk culture.
