artist photo The Ensemble Sreteniye was founded in 1990 in Kharkov, by three alumni of the Kharkov Institute of Beaux Arts.

The well-known Greek musicologist L. Angelopoulos brought his knowledge of ancient Byzantine singing as well helping bring to light a number of very rare canticles written in the 11th to 14th centuries.

The ensemble, consists of three to five singers, takes part in Divine services, participates in festivals of music, and gives concerts. In 1993 the choir became the winner of Archdeacon K. Rosov Moscow international festival, and in 1999 and 2000, grand prix winner of the all-Ukrainian church festival of choirs "Glas Pecherski" in Kiev.
