This year at Diocesan Days 2008 we are honored to have with us the Student Choir from Belgrade. The Students will sing the responses at Church Services and give a special concert
performance at the Sunday Banquet and Program.
It is with joy that we are announcing the visit of the Choir of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology of the University of Belgrade to the United States . These students of theology have been chosen because of their love for divine services and the beauty of their musical expression at the cantor ' s stand of the Seminary's Chapel dedicated to Saint John the Theologian.
The Dean of the School, His Grace Dr. Irinej (Bulovic) formed the choir in the beginning of 2007. The choir consists of some 20 students who foster the chanting of Church hymns, sing multi-part Russian melodies, and especially chant the traditional music of the Byzantine church following the typikon of the Holy Mountain . They sing services and concerts in English as well as Greek and Slavonic. During their visit the Choir will be accompanied by Professor of Liturgics, Nenad Milosevic.
The Choir will be traveling thoughout the United States and visiting cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Phoenix, Boston and New York. Click here for the Tour Schedule and Listen to a preview of their concert music!
