About

After suffering total defeat at the hands of the Red Army, many Cossacks ended up in the diaspora. In 1921 it was with these very Russian refugees that Serge Jaroff set about forming a choir in the Turkish internment camp Chilingir, near Constantinople.

No one could have imagined that this choir, with its roots in a cholera-infested camp, would one day conquer the world. The Cossacks began to accompany their own church services, and later left for the Greek island of Lemnos. To improve the situation, they started giving open-air concerts, which were especially popular with the British. The Cossack lieutenant, Serge Jaroff, worked hard on his choir's repertoire, until a splendid opportunity presented itself. Troops were to be shipped from Chilingir to the Bulgarian town of Burgas and, on their behalf, the Russian envoy suggested that Jaroff and his choir should be attached to the church.

The last tour under Serge Jaroff was in 1979, although he continued as choir leader until 1981.

Ever since it was founded, the Don Cossack Choir has always comprised Russian refugees or Russians who have settled in the West.
