Summary/Abstract: The article reveals previously unknown facts about the life and work of Konstantin Konstantinovich Pigrov, a distinguished choirmaster and the first professional artistic director of the Moldavian Choral Chapel “Doina.” Connected with political persecutions, these facts shed light on the circumstances of his life in Odessa in the 1920s, reveal the motives for his arrivalin the Moldavian ASSR (1930), and explain his subsequent departure from the chapel (1938). In addition, the examination ofarchival documents made it possible to reconstruct the ensemble’s membership and concert repertoire of that period, as well asto characterize the artistic achievements of “Doina” and its evaluation by specialists.
