history
After the Russian Revolution in 1917, many Cossacks loyal to the Tsar emigrated and spread over Europe and the USA. To maintain their culture, especially the songs and dances, Andrei Iwanowitsch Scholuch founded the “Ural Cossack Choir” in Paris in 1924 , which soon became the most important representative of this musical genre.
After the outbreak of war, the choir ceased its activities in 1940, the members were scattered to the winds. In the period from 1951 to 1955 Andrej Scholuch then directed the Black Sea Cossack Choir , with which he mainly gave church concerts. Scholuch founded the newly established "Ural Cossack Choir" from some members of the Black Sea Cossack Choir and new singers. The most famous member was Ivan Rebroff . Due to Scholuch's age and the aging of most of the participants, the choir carried out its last tour in 1972.
Michail Minsky , former soloist of the Don Kosaken Choir Serge Jaroff , gathered the youngest members of the old choir as well as some new singers around him in 1984 and revived the “Ural Kosaken Ensemble”. Four years after his death, the ensemble ceased its activities and was finally re-established with the help of Wanja Scholuch , the founder's son. For a special tour program from 2006 to 2007, Alexander Skovitan , the son of the singer Alexandra , temporarily took over the musical direction of the choir and acted as its conductor. Then, after Skovitan had to leave the choir for private reasons, the direction was transferred to Vladimir Kozlovskyy from Ukraine .
The "Ural Cossack Choir" gives guest performances all over Europe to this day. He is currently on tour under the motto "Memories of Ivan Rebroff" on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of his death. The program "Songs of the Russian Soul - Memories of Alexandra" will also be performed together with the singer Dorothee Lotsch.
