Choir of the Valaam Monastery in Moscow, DK Oktyabr (Podolsk)

On February 8, a unique musical event will take place within the walls of the Oktyabr Palace of Culture — a concert by the Valaam Monastery Choir. This evening will be a real journey into the history and culture of Valaam, thanks to the new program “The Light of Valaam”. Buying tickets on our website and becoming part of this event means touching the spiritual heritage that the monks of the monastery have been creating for centuries.

The concert program will feature a poetic chronicle of the Valaam Monastery, created over decades by monks such as Pyotr Mikhailov and Khariton Dunaev. Their poems describe significant historical events, monastic life, and the unique beauty of the island. Each piece, like a precious stone, reflects the light of the spiritual life of Valaam.

The musical accompaniment is diverse in styles and genres, which makes the concert especially interesting. Ancient Valaam chants immerse you in the strict spirit of the old monastery, and patriotic works by A. Prokofiev and M. Glinka emphasize the unwavering strength of spirit of the brethren. This evening you will also pray for the repose of the inhabitants who died in wars and repressions, and praise God and the people who returned Valaam to its former greatness.

The Oktyabr Palace of Culture is a modern venue that is ideal for holding such significant events. Its acoustics and cozy atmosphere will create ideal conditions for immersion in spiritual music.
