How to Meet the Choir

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> PERFORMANCES

We perform at major festivals, private events, art exhibitions, fashion shows, and more.

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> SESSION-RITUAL “BARANA”

A vocal-therapeutic practice where singers stand in a line, each singing their own song. Together, they create a unique cacophony of voices.

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> SINGING CIRCLE

An open practice for anyone interested, where the choir forms a circle around the guests and sings for them.

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> SOUND BATH

This is a vocal-therapeutic session in which participants lie down with sleep masks while the choir creates a unique acoustic atmosphere around them.

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> SESSION-RITUAL OF GRATITUDE: “THANK YOU, ANCESTORS”

This group vocal practice, akin to OM chanting, is designed to induce a deep meditative state and foster a sense of connection within the group.

<aside> <img src="/icons/stars_gray.svg" alt="/icons/stars_gray.svg" width="40px" /> CLOSED REHEARSAL

An opportunity to observe the choir’s rehearsal and experience the behind-the-scenes process.

Our Story

The SPIEVY z-pad mosta choir was founded by a group of friends who began meeting under the Świętokrzyski Bridge in Warsaw in the spring of 2023. The initiative was led by artist Karalina Palyakova and Rusya—a vocal therapist, singer in Šuma (etno-electronic duo).

The choir presently consists of nearly 20 women in emigration. In our first year, we organized over 30 public performances and recreated several ancient Belarusian rituals, such as the “Burial of the Arrow,” Koliada (“Shchedryk”), and Kupala Night.
