ВЕРСИЯ ДЛЯ СЛАБОВИДЯЩИХ

The Ponomaryov VESNA Chidren’s Choir is a true miracle, created for ordinary kids at the North Moscow District. The Choir is distinguished by the originality of creative approach, a refined taste, impeccable singing technique, inimitable on-stage expression and in-depth interpretation. It is a singing ensemble that stands out to the point of being considered an artistic benchmark for the modern choir art as performed by children. This is a community that for five decades has been giving its listeners a gift of happiness and joy through its spring-like art.
