Singing as a way of unity: guests of the RUSSIA EXPO were taught Easter singing

Maria Medvedchenkova, a teacher and co-founder of the Komon school, held a masterclass on traditional singing at the "House of Culture" to coincide with the Orthodox celebration of Easter. The guests of the Exposition got assistance in mastering correct breathing, finding "their" voice and harmony with the world around them.

The teacher spoke about the special meaning of church Easter songs, noting their importance and unity.

"When the feast of the Bright Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ begins, people rejoice on this day, sing songs in honor of this great event. They sing All Hail King Jesus songs. These songs contain exactly this story. I believe that it would be good for a person to initially join in singing together, to bring back this somewhat lost tradition. I am convinced that this is a good way to unite with each other!" said Maria Medvedchenkova.

She expressed confidence that absolutely everyone can learn to sing after overcoming shyness and insecurity, as "people sing with the voice they speak with".

The International RUSSIA EXPO is the most important achievements of the country gathered on one platform. Throughout the Exposition, cultural events, a rich business and educational program await the guests.
