It's the youngest music team in the Karelian Philharmonic and the first-ever professional choir in Karelia. The first repetition was held only on 2nd July 2020.
The idea of founding this choir belongs to Aleksei Umnov – an alumnus of the Ryazan choral chapel for boys and young men «Lubomyr», senior lecturer at the choir conducting department. His initiative was supported by the Head of Karelia – Artur Parfenchikov and by the deputies of the republic Parliament. The choir was founded with the federal grant money, which had been gotten by the Region for the effective work of the executive branch authorities. Aleksei Umnov is known as a highly qualified musician and an effective conductor of the boys' choirs at the Centre of Male Choir Singing and of the Karelian Male Choir, which are well-known not only in Russia but also abroad.
At the moment there are 16 members of the Male Chamber Choir of the Karelian State Philharmonic, most of which are the graduates of the Petrozavodsk State Conservatory (named after Aleksandr Glazunov).
The debut concert was held at the IV music festival Ruskeala Symphony (in the programme there were compositions of Sergei Taneev, Georgii Sviridov, Yurii Falik).
