"...Every time when go to a rehearsal I am preoccupied with joy because I am looking forward to meeting with a group of real musical artists, tastefully selected repertoire, profound interpretation of the pieces of art (with the amazing harmony between the rational and creative origin). Each rehearsal or concert is a new step to perfection; it is interesting to participate in this movement, to see how each of us takes his/her personal step, and the group ─ a leap. It is amazing to see how the principles of work of the pianists, vocalists and violinists transform the activity within the frames of the vocal-choral genre. The most surprising is the thing that Boris Pevzner and Yelena Grechnikova have been able to build a group of idiosyncratic artists who act as a single organism. Every time when I return from a rehearsal I am preoccupied with joy because I have been able to touch a miracle.
The actors open their souls, the soul of the music and the souls of the audience in every concert, the listeners leave the concert renewed, vitalized".
