Turetsky Choir Art Group is a Russian musical art group under the direction of Mikhail Turetsky that consists of ten men with unique voices in the diapason of four and a half octaves: from the lowest voice basso profondo to the highest voice - countertenor or tenor altino (which is equivalent to female soprano voice). They succeeded in creation of an exceptional format of the show by combining different styles: classic music and folklore, opera and rock, rock’n’roll and jazz, spirituals and pop.
The art group started performances in 1990 as a choir singing Jewish liturgical and folk music in the philharmonic halls, and in 2 years’ won the international recognition thanks to the conductor’s talent, unique voices of soloists and exceptional format of the show. They soon became a recognizable brand: Mikhail Turetsky’s brand.
