LYRA return to the Upper Chapel, Norfolk Street on May 7.
The Russian vocal group will be making their third visit to the venue where they have delighted listeners with vivid, vocal virtuosity in previous years.

Part of a larger organisation in Russia, they perform as an ensemble, also solos and duets, with many items a capella. When an accompaniment is called for, one of the group provides it on piano.

Once again the programme is divided into two parts, the first of Russian church chants and general vocal music, the second Russian folk songs and popular music.

You cannot to get a more popular Russian folk song than Kalinka, which is scheduled to end LYRA's concert.

Also on the bill are a Ukrainian folk song which translates as My Mother Bit Me, Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga (Rinaldo), a religious song by Ippolitov-Ivanov, Rossini's Cat Duet and Auld Lang Syne.

The concert starts at 7pm and admission is by donation of no less than £8, £5 concessions.
