Choir Turkish

(art group) is a musical group led by People's Artist of the Russian Federation Mikhail Turetsky. Formed at first as a Jewish group and receiving support from Jewish organizations, it later moved away from Jewish themes and became simply a choral group.

History of the choir

In 1989, a graduate of the Institute named after. Gnessins Mikhail Turetsky was sent to organize a men's choir at the Moscow Choral Synagogue. Mikhail Turetsky gathered a group of like-minded people who wanted to engage in the revival of Jewish sacred music in the USSR (all members of the choir had a musical education, were graduates or students of music educational institutions). This direction practically did not develop during the Soviet period. The exception was the concert in 1945 in the Moscow synagogue of tenor Mikhail Alexandrovich. The first rehearsals of the choir took place in September 1989, and the first public performance in the spring of 1990. The first tour took place in Kaliningrad and Tallinn. In the same year, concerts took place in Leningrad (the large hall of the conservatory) and in Moscow (in the synagogue). During this period, the American charitable organization “Joint” was involved in financing the team. However, later the choir management spoke very coldly about their former sponsors. According to Mikhail Turetsky, the Joint... needed motivation for the charity committee to raise money... They didn’t think about the musical component and didn’t know what it would entail.

In 1991, the group toured in France and the UK. The group performed under the name “Jewish Chamber Choir”. The tour aroused great interest, since it was the first time such a group had arrived from the USSR. 17 concerts were given in 15 days. In the summer of the same year, the choir went on tour to Israel. A performance in a synagogue in Jerusalem showed that the choir did not have enough repertoire, but the sound was much better than that of the cantor and choir from this synagogue.

In 1991, tourism president Marina Kovaleva accidentally heard a choir rehearsing at Shannon Airport in Dublin. This company has been a sponsor of the choir for several years. After a month and a half of touring in the United States, the band wanted to move their performances from the synagogue to concert venues. However, this desire did not find support from sponsors from the Joint. An “alternative” choir was created at the Moscow synagogue. However, not a single soloist from Mikhail Turetsky’s choir moved to the newly formed group.

In 1993, Mikhail Turetsky was awarded the “Golden Crown of Cantors of the World” by the American Association of Musical Arts (only 8 people in the world have been awarded this distinction).

With the help of Marina Kovaleva, in 1995-1996, a Jewish choir under the direction of Mikhail Turetsky sang in a synagogue in Miami. Some of the choir members remained in the USA, the other part remains in Moscow.

By this time, almost all modern soloists had already appeared in the choir (with the exception of Boris Goryachev and Igor Zverev).

Over the years, the needs of the choir grew, the composition of the group changed, the geography of performances expanded, then the choir began to support Logovaz, in particular, B. Berezovsky. In 1996, difficult times came for the choir; for several months no one financed the choir. Then the team was supported by Joseph Kobzon. With him, the choir traveled to many countries of the former Soviet Union, and was in Chechnya and Israel [1].

Interesting fact: during the tour in Chechnya (after the first Chechen war), the then Deputy Prime Minister Shamil Basayev, at that time the most famous terrorist in the world, was responsible for the safety of the artists (Kobzon and the choir).

After finishing a joint tour with Kobzon in Russian cities, in March 1998 a concert was given in the Great Hall of the Conservatory in Moscow. The concert took place on Saturday, a day forbidden for any work in Judaism. For this reason, a conflict arose with the chief rabbi of the Moscow choral synagogue. The choir was forbidden to perform within the synagogue. The team found support from Moscow Mayor Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov.

The choir became municipal. In 1997-1999 The group performed under the name “Moscow Jewish Choir”. During this period, the repertoire begins to change. Along with traditional religious works, classical opera arias, works by Soviet and foreign composers, art songs and yard songs (for example, “Murka”) appear. In 2000, the choir performed on the stage of the Variety Theater. With the help of the oligarch Vladimir Gusinsky, who at that time was the head of the Russian Jewish Congress, the choir again received the opportunity to perform in the Moscow Choral Synagogue. In 2000-2001 There was a tour with Kobzon in Israel, and independent tours in the USA, Australia, Germany and Israel.

In 2002, Mikhail Turetsky was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.

In 2003, the choir acquired its modern name: the Art Group “Turetsky Choir”. This happened during a concert dedicated to the Day of Ukraine and Russia. The repertoire of the group is also changing. Jewish liturgy (e.g., Kaddish or Kol Nidrei, songs in Yiddish and Hebrew) form an essential, but not the main, part of the program. Works of Western and Russian pop music, urban folklore (for example, “Murka”), opera arias, and Orthodox liturgy (for example, the prayer “Our Father”) appear. In his book “The Choir Master,” Mikhail Turetsky wrote that he did not immediately find an understanding of these changes among his colleagues in the group, but gradually all the soloists agreed with the change in the repertoire. In the same year, several members of the choir (Apaikin, Kalan and Astafurov) left the group. Two new soloists were accepted - Boris Goryachev and Igor Zverev.

In January 2004, the concert “Ten Voices That Shook the World” took place at the State Central Concert Hall “Russia” with the participation of Russian pop stars (Larisa Dolina, Nikolai Baskov, Philip Kirkorov, etc.).

In November 2004, the “When Men Sing” concerts took place in Israel (Haifa and Tel Aviv).

Soon after this, in early December 2004, the “When Men Sing” concerts took place at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses with the participation of Emma Shapplin and Gloria Gaynor.

In January 2005, a tour of US cities took place with the concert “When Men Sing” (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlantic City, Boston and Chicago), and in 2005-2006. — tour with the program “Born to Sing” in the cities of the CIS.

In December 2006, the choir gave concerts with a new program “Music of All Times and Peoples” at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses.

Then, during 2006-2007, the group’s “Great Music” tour took place in cities of Russia and the CIS countries.

In October 2007, Arthur Keish left the team. He was replaced by Konstantin Kabo (Kabanov), who had previously performed leading roles in the musicals “Nord-Ost”, “12 Chairs” and “Romeo and Juliet”.

In February 2008, the choir went on tour to Israel with a new program, “Hallelujah of Love.”

On August 10, 2008, a tour of Russian cities “The Show Goes On” started, which was completed with a concert at the Ice Sports Palace in Murmansk on March 15, 2010.

At the beginning of 2009, Valentin Sukhodolets left the team of his own free will and was replaced by countertenor Vyacheslav Fresh.

On September 9, 2010, the artistic director of the art group “Turetsky Choir”, Mikhail Turetsky, was awarded the title People’s Artist of Russia.

In September 2010, a world tour begins in honor of the group’s 20th anniversary, entitled “20 Years - 10 Voices.” The first concert will take place at the Palace of Sports and Entertainment in Barnaul on September 17, 2010.

Choir Turkish

For almost thirty years on the world stage, the Turetsky Choir is a unique group, whose fame in our country came much later than, for example, in America or Israel.

Formed in 1990, the choir traveled around Russian cities singing Jewish songs. The founder of the group, Mikhail Borisovich Turetsky, conceived the repertoire this way - Jewish melodies that disappeared immediately after the revolution, but were preserved in the melody of Soviet songs. They wrote about him that he pulled beautiful voices out of the Moscow Choral Synagogue and made them available to the general public.

The team found a sponsor - one of the American charitable organizations that existed in large numbers at that time - and went on tour. A year later, another sponsor appeared - and for many years - a travel company providing services all over the world, but with Russian roots.

They sang with many world stars and on the best stages of the capitals. A turning point for the choir came in 1994, when Turetsky was awarded the Order of the Golden Crown by the American Musical Association. Afterwards, Russian awards and titles also happened; in this list, perhaps, the main one, “People’s Artist of the Russian Federation,” Mikhail Borisovich received eight years ago.

But at the height of perestroika and the crisis, no one cared about the choir or Jewish songs - the country was surviving, an army of shuttle traders rushed abroad to survive in conditions of too free trade. The Turetsky Choir also went on a tour across countries and continents.

The choir, already famous abroad, received enormous support in our country from Joseph Kobzon. Throughout 2001, they toured together not only in Russia, but also in other countries. And only in 2004 did real fame come at home, after a concert in “Russia”. The program “Ten Voices That Shook the World” attracted a full audience, and Mikhail Turetsky was nominated for the “Person of the Year” award.

Ten voices of various tones, half of which have been in the choir since its foundation. The artists have been together for many years, but few people know the details of their personal lives. Only a short biography and professional skills.

For example, Mikhail Kuznetsov, the owner of a rare tenor-altino voice timbre, studied with his namesake at the Russian Academy of Music. Gnesins. They are the same age - both 56 years old.

However, other soloists also graduated from Gnesinka: Evgeniy Kulmis (bass profundo) has also been in the group almost from the first day. He came to the casting while still a student, because he was writing a thesis on the music of the synagogue.

The youngest is counter-tenor Vyacheslav Fresh, he is two decades younger than Turetsky. He joined the group in 2009, another turning point in creative terms, because it was at this time that the women’s art group “Turetsky’s SOPRANO” was founded. But this is a different story, although both versions often perform on the same stage and many viewers claim that this is real action.

All ten members of the male choir are media personalities who prefer to talk exclusively about creativity. But this is what makes them interesting, because throughout their existence, they come up with beautiful projects.

They were the first to decide to sing war songs a kilometer from the Reichstag, and now every May a stage is set up for them on the main square of Berlin. Here, in Berlin, Turetsky’s father, together with other Soviet soldiers, ended the war; the relatives of Mikhail’s mother, the Jewish girl Bailey, were destroyed in the first year of the war near Minsk. So the war left a deep imprint on the fate of Turetsky, as well as on every Soviet person. And if Boris Epstein had not taken young Bailey with him to Moscow, it is unknown how her fate would have turned out. Mikhail is the last child in the Epstein family, but bears his mother’s surname. He is the only successor to the family, so the family council decided that it would be right if he gave it to his descendants. But he had four girls, the eldest Natalya got married and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Everyone bears her husband’s surname – Gilevichi. The daughters often perform with their father; 13-year-old Emmanuelle and 10-year-old Beata have beautiful voices, and they, like Printo in the group, can sing a cappella. Turetsky himself calls his family the female kingdom.

The choir found its niche on the stage, created a new genre of “art group” - so successful that no one undertakes to repeat their feat. And it is impossible to create a tracing paper of them: each of them is an artist with a capital A, possessing not only a wonderful voice, but also a whole range of musical techniques. One is able to copy voices and musical instruments, the other is a composer, the third is an arranger. Someone left the team during the crisis years of 1998-99, when the team found itself without sponsors and on the verge of bankruptcy. Over the entire history of the choir, 15 people have attended the choir, the last one, in 2007, was Arthur Keish, an excellent musician who has performed with the group for more than 11 years. Left for health reasons. Like any living organism, the team changes and this is normal. A whole layer of national music still sounds in the languages ​​of different peoples: from folklore to jazz, from chanson to opera parts. Constantly expanding its repertoire, the Turetsky Choir reaches a new audience.

The choir has long moved away from Jewish tunes, diluting them with a wide variety of musical works. But Mikhail Turetsky sometimes takes pleasure in returning the audience to the roots: he offers to perform the most famous and recognizable Jewish songs and always tells their history, shows their reflection in modern music from different countries.

On the 15th anniversary of the group, the book “Chorus Master” was published, in which its author Mikhail Borisovich Turetsky talked about how the choir was created and how it went to its success.

The official page notes that the Turetsky Choir tours up to 250 times a year. Stylish, talented and charming artists now travel abroad less and less; Russian viewers have become a priority.

Indeed, in our country, the popularity of the choir is growing every year, and its concerts are sold out. From the Kremlin Palace to the municipal square in the province, the Turetsky Choir does not refuse to perform on significant dates in the country and on the day of the city of N-ska. Mayors and governors sing together with famous voices on the same stage - Mikhail Turetsky knows what to do to make the show happen.

Unique bass profundo

In my third year at the institute, it’s time to choose a topic for my thesis. And Zhenya, a big fan of classical, especially opera music, began to think. What everyone was writing about—fashionable contemporary composer themes—seemed uninteresting. He was attracted by sacred music, in particular Jewish music, which was close to him in spirit and complicated by the almost complete lack of material about it. At the same time, an announcement appeared on the board in the hostel about the admission of singers to the Male Choir of the Moscow Choral Synagogue, which became a fateful moment for Evgeniy. This was the music that attracted him, the music that he was interested in studying. At the audition, Evgeniy performed several of the most successful musical parts that he knew. However, Maestro Turetsky’s instincts suggested that the timbre of Zhenya’s voice was much lower and more voluminous than it might seem at first. He asked Evgeniy to play several notes that were almost an octave beyond the bass range. This turned out to be impressive not only for the maestro, but also for Evgeniy himself, who was immediately accepted into the team. Thanks to Mikhail Turetsky, who was able to discern a unique talent, and subsequent long-term vocal training, the deep voice of Evgeniy Kulmis became his calling card in the team - a real bass profundo. — The bass profundo, which Evgeniy owns, is extremely rare, because it contains notes that are a whole octave lower than those of a regular bass. We use this voice in the most unexpected situations, and then a certain magic arises that fascinates both us and our audience,” Mikhail Turetsky

. – In addition, Evgeniy refutes all traditional ideas about what the owner of such a powerful bass should look like.
