Об Ансамбле Александрова
В репертуаре ансамбля более 2-х тысяч произведений. Это песни отечественных композиторов, народные песни и танцы, солдатские пляски, духовная музыка, классические произведения русских и зарубежных композиторов.
Деятельность ансамбля положила начало созданию и развитию коллективов нового типа — Ансамблей песни и пляски. По его образцу возникли многие Ансамбли песни и пляски военных округов, флотов и групп войск, причем не только у нас в стране, но и за рубежом.
