June 8, 2023 @ 7:30 pm.

“Hummel, a specialist in West Coast Blues, knows a thing or two about about how to please an audience,” states THE NEW YORKER. “Hummel plays the harmonica with the fat, full sound that made Little Walter sound almost like a saxophonist rather than a harp man,” says CHICAGO SUN-TIMES.

Mark Hummel started playing harmonica in 1970 and is considered one of the premier blues harmonica players of his generation. Hummel has been Nominated 8 times for "Harmonica Player of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards, most recently in 2019, and he has 30+ recordings since 1985. Legendary Guitarist ANSON FUNDERBURG has been Nominated 12 times for "Guitar Player of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards, with his first Nomination in 1989 and his most recent Nominations in 2018, 2019 & 2022.

Anson Funderburgh

Anson Funderburgh has been an unstoppable force on the national blues circuit since his debut album with his Rockets, Talk To You By Hand, launched the New Orleans-based Black Top label in 1981.

Born in Plano, Texas, Anson grew up in a music-friendly environment; Dallas, with all its bedrock blues and country roots sits 20 miles south.  “I’ve always loved music,” he says.  “Nobody really played an instrument in my family, but they loved to listen to music.”  On Saturdays, the popular country music programs of the day started in the early evening – Panther Hall, The Wilburn Brothers Show, The Buck Owens Ranch, The Porter Wagoner Show, The Grand Old Opry.  “I loved to watch all those things,” says Anson.  “My dad did too.”

When he was eight or nine years old, Funderburgh received his first guitar as well as an unexpected bonus gift that proved to be highly influential.  His mother worked at a local school and she bought it from a lady that she worked with.  “I can’t remember how much she paid for it,” recalls Anson.  “I still have the guitar.”

A box of 45s accompanied the guitar – Jimmy Reed singles, Albert Collins’ Sno Cone (Parts I and II,) Freddie King’s Hideaway, Wilbert Harrison’s Kansas City and Linda Lu by Ray Sharpe.  That precious stack of hard-driving platters pointed Funderburgh in a stylistic direction that proved irresistible.  Another important in-the-flesh influence included the Nightcaps, a Dallas-based band whose rollicking Wine, Wine, Wine was a regional sensation during the early ‘60s.  “I think they probably inspired all the guitar players in my area,” says Anson.

Then there was his in-person brush with B.B. King, which left an indelible impression.  It was 1969 at the Loser’s Club off Mockingbird Lane in Dallas.  “It was a small club and he had the entire band, horns and all.  It was amazing.  It just blew me away.”

Anson became a professional musician at age 15, playing in a variety of local bands including Sound Cloud Reunion and the Bee’s Knees.  “Because of a dance that was popular called the Texas Push, we always played shuffles,” notes Anson.  “You had to do a bit of different styles of music for different things.  Honestly, it was mostly blues.  That’s the truth.”

Along the way, he listened to the greats of the genre, absorbing all he could.  His biggest influences stylistically were Freddie King and B.B. King but Funderburgh also embraced the West Side sounds of Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Magic Sam.  “I like all the guys that played behind the harmonicas, too – Luther Tucker and Robert Jr. Lockwood, Louis and David Meyers.  I love all those old Jimmy Reed things with Eddie Taylor.  There’s just so many.”  Jazz greats Kenny Burrell and Barney Kessel also had an impact.

Anson’s first big break came in 1978 when he teamed up with harmonica player and vocalist Darrell Nulisch to form the initial incarnation of The Rockets.  Introduced through a mutual friend, they started gigging every Monday night together in October of that year and by January of 1979 they were making music together full-time at Poor David’s Pub in Dallas.  “It was such a fun thing, and we enjoyed the same kind of music, so it just kind of stuck.”

Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets were the inaugural artists on Hammond and Nauman Scott’s New Orleans-based Black Top Records, one of the leading contemporary blues labels throughout the 1980s and ‘90s.  Kicking off the label in 1981 with their acclaimed debut release, Talk To You By Hand, the band encored in 1983 with She Knocks Me Out!.  “Those records with Darrell, I think those were good records,” says Anson.  “We did a lot of covers at that particular point.”

Funderburgh found Nulisch’s successor by pure happenstance while the Rockets were out on tour and playing in Jackson, Mississippi.  Sam Myers already boasted quite a resume, having cut classic singles for the Ace and Fury labels more than two decades prior.  While playing at a club called George Street Grocery in ’81 or ’82, Myers came and sat in with the band.  “Every time we played Jackson, we’d go see Sam……we just became real good friends,” recalls Anson.

In 1984, Sam and Anson recorded My Love Is Here To Stay for Black Top.  “I just had an idea of putting together a record, a little side project I could do, and still do The Rockets.  And it would be a way to help Sam…….it sounded so good to me, that record is a great record.”

Nulisch stepped away from the music business and exited The Rockets in 1986.  “When Darrell decided to leave the band, I called up Sam and asked him if he wanted to move to Dallas.  He said, ‘Sure.’  I went and picked him up in Jackson and moved him to Dallas,” recalls Anson.

With Myers as The Rockets dynamic front man – his booming pipes were perfectly complemented by his muscular harp work – Anson embarked on his most bountiful period on wax, issuing one spectacular album after another on the Black Top imprint:  Sins (1987), Rack ‘Em Up (1990), Tell Me What I Want To Hear (1991), Live At The Grand Emporium (1995) and That’s What They Want (1997).  And you can throw in the ’91 overview Thru The Years: A Retrospective for good measure.  Anson also guested on Black Top recordings by Snooks Eaglin, Nappy Brown, Joe Hughes, Grady Gaines and James “Thunderbird” Davis.  The band moved to Bullseye Blues in 1999 for Change In My Pocket and Which Way is Texas? in 2003.  The Rockets even achieved cinematic immorality by appearing in the nourish 1994 feature China Moon, starring Ed Harris.  The film’s soundtrack also featured several of the band’s songs.

Mike Morgan

Mike Morgan was born in Dallas on November 30, 1959, and grew up in nearby Hillsboro, Texas. Morgan displayed an avid interest in music as a youngster, listening intently to the impassioned soul sounds of Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett on local radio stations. He received his first guitar while in the third grade, but didn’t begin to take playing seriously until he discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan’s album, Texas Flood, in 1985.

“When I heard Stevie’s first album, that was it,” Morgan recalls. “I already knew how to play the guitar, but Stevie showed me a lot of things I didn’t know. After that, I dove headlong into playing the blues.”

As his prowess on the guitar developed, it became clear that he was not merely a Stevie knock-off, but rather an original player with a sound and style all his own. Mike moved to Dallas in 1986 and soon hooked up with experienced vocalist Darrell Nulisch (formerly with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets and Ronnie Earl) to form The Crawl (named after an old jukebox hit by guitar great,  Lonnie Brooks . Darrell had a tremendous knowledge of blues and a deep collection of blues records, and he exposed Morgan to the music of the Chicago blues scene and many of its key players.

Mike Morgan and The Crawl quickly made a name for themselves as one of the best contemporary blues bands in Texas, writing original songs that were on a par with the classics they chose to cover. After Nulisch left the band in 1989, Morgan set out to find a vocalist who would fit his desire for a broader-based R&B sound. He found the perfect match in Kansas City native and blues veteran Lee McBee, whose smoky, seasoned vocals were reminiscent of the legendary 1960s soul singers Morgan listened to while growing up. The fact that McBee was also an accomplished and revered harmonica player added more fuel to The Crawl’s fire.

As Mike and Lee’s collaboration proved popular with blues aficionados, appearances at the Benson & Hedges Blues Festival, the Dallas Blues Festival, the Atlantic City Blues Festival and the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival soon followed. Shortly before a performance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Morgan’s old pal Anson Funderburgh took Black Top owner Hammond Scott to a gig. Scott was so stunned by the band’s talent and originality that he signed them to the label immediately following the Jazz Fest appearance.

Mike Morgan and The Crawl found a national audience with the release of their debut recording,  Raw & Ready , in 1990. Backed up by extensive national and international touring, Mike Morgan and The Crawl continued to amaze their fans throughout the 1990s by releasing five highly regarded albums,  Mighty Fine Dancin , Full Moon Over Dallas, Ain’t Worried No More, Looky Here!, The Road and I Like The Way You Work It . Morgan even kept a high profile during some down time away from the band in 1994 by recording Let The Dogs Run, a highly acclaimed record that paired him with fellow Dallas guitarist Jim Suhler.

Meanwhile praise for Morgan and the band came flooding in. Guitar World Magazine called Morgan “a genuine blues guitar hero!!”

Blues Access Magazine raved, “Mike Morgan and the Crawl crank up an irrepressible of fresh gritty blues and romping Stax/Volt-era soul.”

New Years Eve 1999 saw an end to the Morgan /McBee era of Mike Morgan and the Crawl. As Lee ventured out to do his own band back in his home state of Kansas, Morgan decided it was high time he took over as front man. After years of great vocalists / front men such as Lee McBee, Darrell Nulisch, Chris Whynaught and Keith Dunn, Mike was ready to take on the new challenge.

In 2000  Texas Man , Mike’s first vocal outing was released on Severn Records. Texas Man met rave reviews and was followed up in 2004 by “ Live in Dallas.”

2007 saw the release of the most current CD,  Stronger Every Day . Stronger Every Day was released by Seven Records and has guest appearances by Lee McBee and Randy McAllister.

After years of non-stop touring, Mike turned his attention to playing mainly in Texas and branching out with artists such as The Tejas Bros, Dustin Arbuckle, Johnny Sansone, Johnny Burgin, and The Terraplane Rounders. In 2019 Morgan formed a super group of guitarists called Texas Blues Guitar Summit featuring Anson Funderburgh, Shawn Pittman and himself.

2022 marks his latest and most dynamic release to date in The Lights Went Out in Dallas on the CRS label based out of The Netherlands. This album includes an all star cast of DFW and Austin’s finest musicians the likes of Reo Casey, Anson Funderburgh, Mike Flannigan (B3 player for Jimmy Vaughan), Shawn Pittman, Drew Allain, Danny Cochran, and Kevin Schermerhorn just to name a few.

Mike is normally doing a three piece band with the rhythm support of Kevin Schermerhorn on drums and Drew Allain on bass.

Shawn Pittman

Shawn Pittman was born in the small town of Talihina, Oklahoma at the Choctaw Nation Indian Hospital and raised in Cleveland County, Oklahoma. At age of fourteen he picked up guitar and was soon introduced to the mysterious sounds of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters. Soon after he started exploring Elmore James, Albert King and Buddy Guy. Being a teenager Pittman then discovered the Vaughan Bros as well as Anson Funderburgh and Mike Morgan.

At Seventeen, he moved to Dallas, Texas where he attended the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts national debut in ’97 as Burnin’ Up on the Cannonball Records label Something’s Gotta Give, was produced by Jim Gaines and followed in ’98. Pittman toured with Susan Tedeschi briefly in ’99, just long enough to make a television appearance with her on the Conan O’Brian Show.

‘Full Circle,’ backed by Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section Double Trouble. He had a band with former Fabulous Thunderbirds bassist Preston Hubbard called Killer Instinct. Between 2008-2010 Pittman had five more independently released recordings under his belt. This flurry of activity eventually led to a new record contract with Delta Groove, and plans were immediately set in motion to record another album.

‘Edge Of The World’ marked Shawn Pittman’s tenth release, and contains an inspired program of original material by an accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, recalling all the vintage tones and ambiance of the great blues recordings of the 1950’s and ’60’s. Pittman plays virtually every instrument on the CD, handling vocals and guitar, to bass, drums and piano, on top of doubling as the album’s producer and engineer. Special guest Jonathan Doyle (Mighty Blue Kings, Jimmy Sutton’s Four Charms, White Ghost Shivers) represents the album’s only other personnel by contributing tenor & baritone saxophone on four songs. When asked to comment about the inspiration behind his latest and most ambitious project Pittman simply states “I’m just playing the music I want to hear.”

During which time he also released his 11th album ‘Backslidin’ Again’ (2015). In January, 2018 Pittman recorded his 12th album ‘Everybody Wants to Know’ with longtime friend and drummer Jay Moeller In the Spring of 2020, Pittman returned with ‘Make It Right’, in partnership with Netherlands-based Continental Record Services (CRS) B.B. King told me when I asked him his secret for longevity: “Treat people how you want to be treated, and remember everybody has a boss.”

Pittman moved back to Dallas in 2021, and as an adaptation to the pandemic, has expanded his repertoire to include acoustic/solo music. His latest release ‘Stompin’ Solo’ is his first all acoustic album on the CRS subsidiary Must Have Music.

Anson Funderburgh has been an unstoppable force on the national blues circuit since his debut album with his Rockets,  Talk To You By Hand , launched the New Orleans-based Black Top label in 1981.

At age of fourteen he picked up guitar and was soon introduced to the mysterious sounds of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters. Soon after he started exploring Elmore James, Albert King and Buddy Guy. Being a teenager Pittman then discovered the Vaughan Bros as well as Anson Funderburgh and Mike Morgan.

When it comes to the ‘Texas Sound’ you cannot overlook the contributions that Anson Funderburgh, Mike Morgan and Shawn Pittman have made to the genre. With over 40 albums between them collectively, they come together to remind blues audiences everywhere about the unique sound of Texas Blues. Joining forces, they look to play at some upcoming European blues festivals in 2020 and beyond.

Funderburgh was born in Plano, Texas, United States. Anson was with The Bee’s Knees in 1976 and recorded “Cold Hearted Woman”. In 1977 the Rockets began with Anson, Mark Hickman on Fender bass, David Watson on drums and vocalist Darrell Nulisch. In 1981, Funderburgh released the Rockets’ debut album Talk to You By Hand from New Orleans, Louisiana based Black Top Records. The band consisted of Anson, with Darrell Nulisch on vocals and harmonica. The album included a cover version of Earl King’s song, “Come On”. Talk to You By Hand was also the first ever release by the record label.

Before the debut album’s release in 1981, Funderburgh participated that same year with The Fabulous Thunderbirds in recording of their Butt-Rockin’ album.

Funderburgh and the Rockets appeared at the 1984 San Francisco Blues Festival. When Nulisch left the band in 1985, Funderburgh invited the blues harmonica player Sam Myers from Jackson, Mississippi to fill in the spot. He stayed with the band until his death on July 17, 2006, appearing on eight albums with them. The first Rockets’ recording featuring Myers was My Love Is Here To Stay which came out in 1986.

Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets appeared in the 1994 film China Moon, starring Ed Harris and Madeleine Stowe. They are shown playing “Tell Me What I Want To Hear” from the self-titled release. As well as the studio recordings, in 1990 the band played the Long Beach Blues Festival. The same year, they appeared on show number 109 of the NBC television program, Sunday Night.

In 1989 and 1990 the band’s bassist was Mike Judge, future animator and creator of Beavis and Butt-head and King of the Hill. Their song “Can We Get Together” was also featured in the film, 21 Grams in 2003.

In 2007, Funderburgh played on and produced John Németh’s album, Magic Touch. Németh had briefly replaced Myers in Funderburgh’s backing band.[8]

In 2011, The Mill Block Blues album was released. The CD was unique in that a portion of the sales of the album was donated to help fellow musicians in need via the HART Fund. The HART Fund (Handy Artist Relief Trust) is a service provided by the Blues Foundation which provides for acute, chronic and preventive medical and dental care as well as funeral expenses for blues musicians.[9][10]

In October 2012, was the first U.S. and European tour of Golden State / Lone Star Revue, an All Star package that included Funderburgh, Little Charlie Baty on guitar, former Rockets drummer Wes Starr, bassist Richard W. Grigsby and leader, harmonicist and singer Mark Hummel. The quintet was featured on Hummel’s 2014 release on Electro-Fi Records, The Hustle Is Really On, nominated for a Blues Music Award for ‘Best Traditional Blues Album’ in 2015.

In 2013, Funderburgh produced and featured on The Andy T Band’s Drink Drank Drunk, released on Delta Groove.

In 2014, he was nominated for a Blues Music Award in the ‘Best Instrumentalist – Guitar’ category.

More recently, Funderburgh co-produced Dany Franchi’s album, Problem Child (2018).

As his prowess on the guitar developed, it became clear that he was not merely a Stevie knock-off, but rather an original player with a sound and style all his own. Mike moved to Dallas in 1986 and soon hooked up with experienced vocalist Darrell Nulisch (formerly with Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets and Ronnie Earl) to form The Crawl (named after an old jukebox hit by guitar great, Lonnie Brooks. Darrell had a tremendous knowledge of blues and a deep collection of blues records, and he exposed Morgan to the music of the Chicago blues scene and many of its key players.

In 2000 Texas Man, Mike’s first vocal outing was released on Severn Records. Texas Man met rave reviews and was followed up in 2004 by “ Live in Dallas.”

2007 saw the release of the most current CD, Stronger Every Day. Stronger Every Day was released by Seven Records and has guest appearances by Lee McBee and Randy McAllister.

Mike has not been touring much since 2006. He is still playing mostly local gigs and a few scattered touring appearances. Mike is currently the sales manager at a Mesquite, TX based motorcycle dealership called “Action Suzuki / Kawasaki / Arctic Cat of Mesquite.

Although he’s often closely associated with the Lone Star State since originally taking up residence in Dallas, Texas in the early ‘90s, vocalist/guitarist Shawn Pittman is actually an Oklahoma native. Pittman was born in the small town of Talihina and raised in Norman, a city located in Cleveland County, Oklahoma. At eight years old he began taking piano lessons under the encouragement of his mother, but later began sneaking into his older brother’s room to play on his drum kit. By the age of fourteen he had switched to guitar and was soon introduced to the mysterious sounds of Lightnin’ Hopkins and Muddy Waters by Bracken Hale, a good friend and member of his seventh-grade football team. Their friendship would prove significant as Hale would later collaborate with Shawn on writing material for many of his albums.

Pittman moved to Dallas, Texas when he was seventeen years old where he attended the Booker T Washington High School of the Performing Arts. He later dropped out, but picked up his music education courtesy of his uncle who would take him over to the Schooner’s jam in Dallas where he first met and learned from musicians like Brian ‘Hashbrown’ Calway, Sam Myers, Mike Morgan, Jim Suhler, Tutu Jones and many others. His first album, “Blues From Dallas,” was recorded in 1996 and later picked up and retooled for his national debut in ’97 as “Burnin’ Up” on the Cannonball Records label. His second album, “Something’s Gotta Give,” was produced by Jim Gaines and followed in ’98. Pittman toured as rhythm guitarist for Susan Tedeschi briefly in ’99, just long enough to make a television appearance with her on the Conan O’Brian Show. The following year he relocated to Austin and recorded his third album “Full Circle,” backed by Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section Double Trouble. In 2004, a more experimental and adventurous album titled “Stay” was released. After a much-needed break from the music business, as well as some serious soul-searching from 2005-2008, Pittman returned to performing and made a plan to record one album per year. By mid-2010 he already had five independently released recordings under his belt! This flurry of activity eventually led to a new record contract with Delta Groove and plans were immediately set in motion to record yet another album.

“Edge Of The World” marked Shawn Pittman’s tenth release and contains an inspired program of original material by an accomplished singer, songwriter and guitarist, recalling all the vintage tones and ambiance of the great blues recordings of the 1950’s and ’60’s. Even more astonishing is the fact that Shawn plays virtually every instrument on the CD, handling everything from vocals and guitar, to bass, drums and piano, on top of doubling as the album’s producer and engineer! Special guest Jonathan Doyle (Mighty Blue Kings, Jimmy Sutton’s Four Charms, White Ghost Shivers) represents the album’s only other personnel by contributing tenor & baritone saxophone on four songs. When asked to comment about the inspiration behind his latest and most ambitious project Pittman simply states “I’m just playing the music I want to hear!”

After seven years in Dallas (1993-1999) and fourteen years in Austin (2000-2013), Pittman moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he now resides closer to family and took time off to finish a degree in Information Technology. During which time he also released his 11th album (digital downloads only) ‘Backslidin Again’ (2015)

In January of 2018 Pittman decided to record his 12th album ‘Everybody Wants to Know’ with longtime friend and drummer Jay Moeller, which is set to be released on the European label CrossCut Records in the fall of 2018.

Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets Tickets

Anson funderburgh & the rockets concert tickets.

Escape into the jazz-blues genre with Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets tickets from TicketSmarter. Beginning with the birth of blues in the 1870s Deep South, the storytelling quality of the genre has made it one of the most beloved and intimate music styles. As the 1920s approached, jazz came on the scene and became a rousing compliment to an already-established musical movement.

Drawing from its origins in the traditions of African Music, the blues greatly influenced the emergence of early jazz. Often woven with themes of struggle and spirituality, the jazz-blues genre rose to prominence with early pioneers such as W.C. Handy, known as the father of the blues.

Popularly considered to be the soul of New Orleans and St. Louis, the unmistakable sound resonates with a diverse range of listeners. Instruments play a significant role in the stylization of the music itself and popular accompaniments include harmonica, saxophone and slide guitar. Artists like B.B. King brought the genre to a new generation in the 1950s.

As the music continued to emerge and evolve, musicians like Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Joe Bonamassa carried the traditional sounds to contemporary audiences. Buy Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets tickets today and get lost in the music.

Anson Funderburgh Biography

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
