The Russian Cathedral Choir of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, New York, will give a concert under the auspices of the Division of Music in Sanders Theatre tonight at 8 o'clock.
The Russian Choir, numbering over thirty voices, is composed of adult singers selected from leading choirs in Russia and of younger boys who are the children of Russian immigrants in New York City. The reverential and extremely impressive character of the Russian music, little known to people of other countries, adds its glories to the other dramatic splendors of the Russian orthodox service. Without the Russian deep basses, the religious music of Russia cannot be given. Their combination with the distinct style of the Russian boys gives a strange intensive force and unfamiliar devotional intensity to religious music. In the perfection of its ensemble production, the Russian Cathedral Choir stands alone among similar choirs outside of Russia.
This concert has been arranged through the courtesy of the Most Rev- erend Evdokim, Archbishop of Aleutia and North America, and of Mr. Charles R. Crane. The conductor will be Ivan T.

The program will be as follows:
