The Russian American Colony Singers (RACS) is a non-profit 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) organization of singers headquartered in south central Alaska, primarily Anchorage, that rehearses and performs choral literature with a unique emphasis on Russian music in various idioms, folk, classical, and religious.

Half or more of the singers are of Russian background with training in various aspects of vocal music. This repertoire is unique in American choral life, since many conductors do
not have the skill and interest to take on music performed in Russian or other languages in the Russian language family.

As a result there is a wide variety and rich tradition of vocal music in the Russian genre that is not available to American audiences. Alaska, with its history as a Russian colony from 1741 to 1867, is in a unique position to host and nurture the Russian singing group with ability to perform this body of literature.

With the modern wave of Russian immigrants into Alaska, there are many of whom are uniquely qualified to present Russian music in the tradition and style in which it was conceived and performed. Your interest in and support of this group, whether financially or as concert patrons, is most appreciated.
