The creative biography of folk ensemble "Radzimichy" began in the year 1979. The name of the group traces back to the ancient tribe radzimichy, who inhabited the northern regions of Belarus.

Vladimir Lipski is the founder and the constant leader of the choir.

The folk ensemble "Radzimichy" comprises 30 people, talented youth from 17 to 30 years old. The artists sing, dance, play various traditional and untraditional folk instruments such as bayan, concertina, dulcimer, violin, flute, fife, pipe, horn, zhaleika, solomka, balalaika, domra, keyboard instruments, xylophone, drums, tambourine, etc. The integral part of the choir is the chorus of children from 7 to 12 years old.

In 1985 the group was conferred the honorary title "national".

The folk ensemble "Radzimichy" is the laureate and prize-winner in a number of national and international contests and festivals. The repertoire of the choir consists not only of Belarusian songs and music, but also of folk, classic, and popular works of different countries. The program of the choir's performances is always interesting, vivid and original. The ensemble "Radzimichy" doesn't stick to firm ethnographic consistency. Its interpretation of folklore is always impregnated with a sense of modernity, connection between ages and generations. The choir aspires to create its own style of presentation of folk songs. However, the artists keep cautiously the main quality of tradition - the essence of Belorussian song, its spiritual purity, depth and openness. The mobile and fruitful work of the choir signifies innovative search: traditional sources of folk culture merge with the performance specification of pop genres. But for all that, there is the preservation of artistic unity and national originality and the strengthening of fascinating spontaneity and modern spirit. In the concert program of the choir you can hear both lyrical and frolicsome folk songs, which reveal the essence of Belorussian mentality. The works, performed with various musical instruments, impress by their contrast and extraordinary coloring.
