Pokrovsky Chime in Petropavlovsk

Dear friends! The International Festival of Russian and Cossack Culture «Pokrovsky Chime» once again invites true connoisseurs of authentic, multifaceted, and profoundly expressive folk art. The festival is dedicated to the great Orthodox feast - The Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, a sacred day symbolising the protection and guardianship of the Mother of God over all who turn to her in faith and prayer. Naturally, spiritual music filled with divine light, love, and beauty is an inseparable part of the programme.

Over its 19-year history, Pokrovsky Chime has gained immense popularity and the heartfelt love of audiences, for it offers the rare opportunity to experience living culture, reflecting the spirituality and centuries-old wisdom of the people.

In the new season, the finest folk ensembles and performers - including special guests of the region - will gift audiences unforgettable moments of communion with the rich musical heritage of Slavic culture.

Thanks to such projects as Pokrovsky Chime, we come to realise that the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence in our multicultural society are the most fertile ground for reviving cultural heritage and fostering intercultural dialogue. And the language of art has always been, and remains, the most powerful medium for expressing the palette of human emotions.
