Kamchatka Choir Capella
The Evgeniy Morozov Kamchatka Choir Capella () is a Russian choral collective operating in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Kamchatka Krai, Russia, since 1967. It is part of the Kamchatka Concert and Philharmonic Association and has won several Russian and international competitions. History 
The Kamchatka Choir Capella was created in 1967. The originator of the idea of the choir and organiser was choirmaster Evgeniy Morozov, who directed the choir until his death on 1 December 2016. The Kamchatka Choir Capella is a laureate of many prestigious choral art competitions. At the international level, the collective has become four times the laureate of various competitions. From 1973, tours were organised around the cities of the Soviet Union. In 1980, the first foreign tour of the choir to Bulgaria took place. After a successful performance in the friendly state, the artists of the Kamchatka choir were heard in the United States, Japan, China, France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Germany and other countries. One of the most significant events in the history of the orchestra was a joint performance in 1992 with the Anchorage Choir and the US National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mstislav Rostropovich, during which Sergei Prokofiev's cantata Alexander Nevsky was performed. The repertoire of the choir is diverse and includes both Russian and foreign classics, as well as choral works by contemporary composers and variations on Russian folk songs. Russian sacred music occupies a special place in the performances of the collective. The variations on national melodies of peoples of the north have drawn great success and interest and were included in the choir's concert programs by Evgeniy Morozov. Such works are performed with the participation of national choreographic ensembles. In October 2002, the Kamchatka Choir Capella took part in the World Choir Olympiad, which took place in the city of Busan in South Korea. Morozov's collective performed in three nominations and managed to win three silver medals. In the summer of 2005 in Rome, Italy, the choir capella won the gold medal in the competition of choral collectives. On 4 November 2010, a concert by the Kamchatka Choir Capella was organised and held in the  of the Moscow Conservatory.
