The Formation nowadays
It is created in January,
2004, by the singers Rumen Katsarov and Andrey Pernishki, whose
friendship keeps them together since their teens, while their
common professional path starts in 1990, when they meet as participants
in the highly rated chamber ensemble for religious music "Orthodox".
Gained long-term experience and professional confidence unites
them around the idea to create a new formation, whose repertoire
should cover works from the Byzantine cannon, mediecal Bulgarian
music, works of the religious-Slavic romanticism, as well as Western
European music. Thus, the vocal formation "Santo Andreas"
has been created, attracting singers, already established in the
field of religious music with their impressing voices and rich
professional exprerience.
