State Academic Chapel St. Petersburg
The State Academic Chapel of St. Petersburg ( Russian Государственная академическая капелла Санкт-Петербурга / Gossudarstwennaja Akademicheskaya capella Santa Peterburga , scientific. Transliteration Gosudarstvennaja akademičeskaja capella Santa Peterburga ) was formerly the Imperial Court Chapel , today it is the Academic Glinka Chapel .
It is the oldest active Russian professional music institution. It is based in the city of Saint Petersburg . The institution consists of the oldest professional choir in the country, a symphony orchestra and its own concert hall .
This choir, which constantly took part in the court service, existed for over 400 years. It has been reorganized and renamed several times in the course of its history, most recently as the Petersburg Imperial Court Chapel until 1917, when it broke with the tradition of church singing, completely changed its structure and was reorganized into a secular choir.
The choir was founded in 1479 on the orders of Tsar Ivan III. founded in Moscow . In 1703 the institution moved to St. Petersburg on the orders of Peter the Great .
The chapel is associated with personalities such as Dmitri Bortnjanski (1751-1825), Maxim Berezovsky , Mikhail Glinka , Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Anatoli Lyadow .
In addition to Bortnjanski , the “most important and last representative of the Italian style in Russian church chant”, it was also the place of activity of Turchaninow , Lwow , and Bachmetev .
The Russian music publisher Peter Juergenson won a legal battle against the Orthodox Church , which from then on was allowed to print sacred works elsewhere . Tchaikovsky wrote about this to Frau von Meck : "This morning I found a telegram from Jurgenson on my table, in which he informed me that he had won the trial against the director of the court orchestra Bachmetew [...]"

It also had an educational music college, which is currently independent from the court orchestra.
