THE St Petersburg Blagovest Ensemble is performing at Bromsgrove School's Memorial Chapel on Friday (7.30pm).
They consist of a bass, baritone, tenor, mezzo-soprano and soprano, conducted by Olga Kozlova, who also sings second soprano.
The programme will include some of Russia's sacred choral music, much of it penned by her greatest composers.

This sacred music was banned under Soviet rule, now this music is once again resounding through the churches and halls of Europe.
Also in the programme is Russian folk music. Russians feel passionately about their folk music, reflecting as it does their values of courage, pride and love, as well as a cheeky humour that is charmingly British.
Blagovest's voices, always unaccompanied, weave a tapestry of sound that leads the listener into another realm.
Theirs is a journey of faith, an exchange of gifts, and we are some of this spring's lucky recipients.
No gimmicks. Just the most beautiful voices imaginable coming to sing for us.
Tickets, costing £6 are available from the Bromsgrove School Music School.
