My name is Milana Sarukhanyan and I am a singer-soprano, actress, dancer and a founder of 'DNA: A Festival of Ancestry in Conetemporary Music'. Vocal Matryoshka is an essential audio tool for vocalists who are interested in learning Russian Vocal Repertoire. Every week there will be an episode of an aria and a song where I will read the lyrics in my native language (Russian) in different speed so you could gradualy speed up your russian pronounciation.
