Comments: The Don Cossack Choir was a men's chorus of exiled Cossacks founded in 1921 by Serge Jaroff and conducted for almost sixty years by him. They traveled to the United States for the first time in 1930 and attained U.S. citizenship in a mass ceremony in 1936. With World War II looming, the choir found a new home in the United States. This photograph came from the estate of a Maine musician who indicated in writing on the back she heard the chorus in Bangor, Maine on October 25, 1933, and presumably is how she obtained it.
