Greetings from Sarajevo!

[bosniajenny]

Hello everyone!

I have just discovered this forum, and it looks really good. I am posting from Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina - yes, where the Archduke (!) got assassinated and started WWI)

I am however British and I'm Team Leading a project for the EU here.

My main interests are Russian music and opera (I'm a Russian speaker and lived there for 5 years) and English choral music. I have sung in choirs (Mozart Requiem, St John Passion, Haydn Nelson Mass) and can do a decent rendition of "He shall feed his flock" given half an hour's notice!

Looking forward to posting!

Hi bosniajenny!  Love Russian music and opera--I grew up listening to lots of Prokofiev, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky--and later discovered many operas thanks to Gergiev's recordings.  Also love choral music, which sometimes seems not to get as much attention as it deserves.

Anyway, welcome!

Thanks for the welcome, Bruce.

Don't start me on the great choral works.......I sing Messiah every year as an act of homage!

Looking forward to reading and posting.

Thank you all, especially the Russians! I haven't yet worked out how to write on here in Russian but give me time.....!!

Really look forward to discussions and views - there is a super choir recorded here in Sarajevo as a multi-faith, multi-ethnic effort to recover from the dreadful days. Will post a link/reference shortly.
