The Singing Guitars years

Born in Leningrad on June 30, 1945, Bronevitsky joined the Singing Guitars, which was being formed in 1966, at the invitation of Anatoly Vasilyev. Vasilyev had previously worked as a guitarist in the Druzhba ensemble.

The classic lineup of the Singing Guitars disbanded in 1975. Bronevitsky then played bass guitar with Druzhba for 10 years.

In 1997, some of the ensemble’s musicians decided to reunite. Bronevitsky also returned to the lineup as a bass guitarist.
