10 male voices, different and unique ... They sing everything that can be sung, and these works become masterpieces. Once they burst into the air a chapel, without any musical accompaniment, and became famous.
How it all began?
Today everyone knows the art group “Turetsky Choir”, composition, style and repertoire. Back in 1990, this group sang in the choral synagogue of Moscow, and only a narrow circle of lovers knew about it. The permanent leader of the ensemble, Mikhail Turetsky, headed it already. It was Michael who came up with the idea to go out into the world and try the cappella style in the general public. And so the future group "Turetsky Choir" was born.
A bit about Turkish
Mikhail Turetsky was born in 1962 in a family of Belarusian Jews. His musical talent manifested itself already in early childhood, and his parents decided to give him a suitable education.
Michael graduated from the choir school and "Gnesinka" - Music Institute. Gnesins. Having received a diploma, in 1989 he announced a competition among vocalists who want to sing in the male choir of the Moscow synagogue. Turkish dreamed thus to give a second wind to Jewish sacred music. The Jewish tradition used the technique of singing a cappella, that is, without musical accompaniment. And so a unique manner of performing the future art group "Turetsky Choir" was born. The composition of the team was supposed to be purely professional.
Rich touring experience has become a source of new ideas and a new role for the team. Less than 10 years after the choir was born, Mikhail Turetsky brought the ensemble to a wide stage, uttering a completely new word in music - “art group”.
Turetsky Choir: group composition
The musical style opened by Turkish consists in the limitlessness of the vocal and artistic possibilities of the performers. The group unites in its repertoire not only various times and ethnic groups, but also manners of performance - from a chapel to a variety show with choreographic elements.
The team consists of 10 soloists representing all varieties of male voices: from the lowest key called bass profundo to the high male timbre called tenor altino. To date, the group "Turetsky Choir" the composition is as follows:
- Alex Alexandrov - born 1972, dramatic baritone, assistant choreographer, old-timer of the collective.
- Boris Goryachev - born 1971, lyric baritone.
- Vyacheslav Fresh - born 1982, the youngest soloist, counter-tenor.

All participants are professional musicians, not limited only to vocals.
Women's group - original move
Mikhail Turetsky never stops searching for new opportunities. At some point, it seemed to him that the work of the collective lacked the specifics of female vocals. So in 2009, a variation of the Turetsky Choir collective was born - the female group SOPRANO Turetsky.
From the very beginning it became clear that the new brainchild of Mikhail will be as unique as the male art group. Only the most brilliant professionals passed the casting, equally attractive to the public not only externally, but also creatively.
The same author’s brand, the same form, filled with new female content. The group presents all the keys of soprano and all variations of singing styles. The team has the quality characteristic of the Turetsky Choir: the girls have practically no restrictions on the repertoire, so SOPRANO Turetsky has no analogues in the world of music and pop.
Turetsky’s male or female team performs on stage - it is always a bright show, action, musical event with a powerful energy intensity, leaving a deep mark in the hearts of the audience!
