The Don Kosaken Chor (choir, chorale) comes with a broad spectrum of timbres, from the playfully instrumental sounding background of a solo part to the vocal authority of an operatic choir. The choir was founded in 1991 by Wanja Hlibka and George Tymczenko: both were soloists under Serge Jaroff in the world famous Don Kosaken Chor until its disbandment in 1979. The repertoire is the same as the former original choir's, with all scores being transcripts from Serge Jaroff's private music library, presently in the care of his son, Alexeij, in America. In the meantime the Don Kosaken Chor Wanja Hlibka has become a top "A Cappella" choir.

Thanks to Hlibka's continuous activity and his absolute dedication to maximum performance, the choir continues to elate the public in spite of thousands of kilometres and hundreds of concerts a year. He is the guarantor of the high artistic level of the choir, whom he conducts, directs and dominates with nearly imperceptible movements.

The choir performs live and without the aid of amplification even in such large venues as the Musikhalle in Hamburg, the Messehalle in Frankfurt or the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. For more than 10 years now the choir, under the conduction of Wanja Hlibka, has been touring and is giving concerts every year in about 250 cathedrals and concert halls. Television appearances on ZDF, SAT1, WDR1, ORF, MDR, ORB and RTL contributed to quickly growing popularity.
