Хор Мальчиков Ленинградской Академической Капеллы

Boys Choir of the Leningrad Academic Capella or Choir School named after M. I. Glinka

The Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka Choir School is a St. Petersburg State Budgetary Professional Educational Institution, formerly affiliated with the State Academic Chapel of St. Petersburg = Государственная Певческая Капелла Санкт-Петербурга.
Appearance history:
Formally, the Choral School was founded in 1944 (at first it was called the Music and Choral School, since 1945 - the Choir School, since 1954 - named after M. I. Glinka).
However, since it was originally part of the State Academic Singing Choir of St. Petersburg, it has long roots. The choir comes from the Choir of Sovereign Singers, founded in the 15th century in Moscow and transferred in 1703 to St. Petersburg (the choir received the name "Capella" at the end of the 18th century). At some point in the composition of the choir, originally male, there were juvenile singers - boys.
Since 1955 the School and its boys' choir have been an independent organization.
