Summary/Abstract: The article substantiates the possibility of studying the modern Orthodox Church choir as a socio-cultural system, which is due to two projections of its being – social and culture-creating. The main determinants and factors of formation of the church choir as a sociocultural system are revealed, the functional roles of singers in the team are typologised. The principles of interaction of the individual and collective consciousness within the church choir are considered, the role of unity (conciliarity) in its liturgical activity is defined. The main characteristics of the life cycle of the church choir as a socio-cultural system are given, its typical stages and potential crises are characterized. The fundamentals of team management, including the method of controlled crisis, are formulated.
