The Хор Сретенского монастыря, or the Sretensky Monastery Choir, is a prestigious vocal ensemble with deep roots in the rich traditions of Russian Orthodox choral music. The choir hails from the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow, a historical center of Russian spiritual and cultural life. Under the direction of an inspired conductor, the choir has gained international acclaim for both their preservation and their innovative approach to liturgical chant and Russian choral music.

Their repertoire encompasses a wide range of works, from ancient chants and hymns to complex harmonies of contemporary compositions, and they have also ventured into thematic pieces for film soundtracks, as evidenced in their releases from the film "Пробуждение" (Awakening). With a dedication to authenticity and emotion in their performances, the ensemble provides a transcendental experience that connects listeners to the profound depths of Russian spirituality and history. In addition to liturgical music, their album series "Песни наших родителей" (Songs of Our Parents) reflects a commitment to preserving the cultural heritage of Russian folk songs, enriching the cultural tapestry of their nation. The choir's performances are known to leave a lasting impression of both splendor and solemnity, capturing the essence of the Russian soul.
