Moscow Monastery Choir Sets American Tour

By DANIEL J. WAKIN

Five years after its first American tour, the Moscow Sretensky Monastery Choir will return. The group is coming for a nine-city tour in October, including a stop at Carnegie Hall on Oct. 15, and will feature an appearance by Dmitry Beloselsky, who performed with the choir during their 2007 tour and went on to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. The monastery was established in 1395 but suppressed during the Soviet era. It was returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1994.
