Perhaps the world's most famous choir for Byzantine chant, the Greek Byzantine Choir will be appearing on both US coasts just after Thanksgiving:

Boston: Presented by Boston Early Music Festival
( http://www.bemf.org/pages/concerts.htm  )
Saturday, November 26, Greek Orthodox Cathedral

Portland: Presented by Cappella Romana
( http://www.cappellaromana.org )
Monday, November 28, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

Seattle: Presented by Cappella Romana
( http://www.cappellaromana.org )
Tuesday, November 29, St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church

While the group has visited the US a few times before, this is the Greek Byzantine Choir's first tour that includes the West Coast.

The choir's director, Lycourgos Angelopoulos, was Alexander Lingas's teacher of Byzantine music when he lived in Athens on a Fulbright fellowship in 1995.

Even if you aren't able to make it to these performances, please spread the word to friends and family who could attend.

Tickets for Portland and Seattle are available through Cappella Romana's website http://www.cappellaromana.org; for Boston, from the Boston Early Music Festival website, http://www.bemf.org .

If you would like more information, contact either BEMF or Cappella Romana. Cappella Romana's press release for this event may be found here:

I hope to see you at these concerts, as well as at Cappella Romana's opening concerts in October, in which we'll feature the stratospheric singing of soprano Patricia Rozario in "Women in Byzantium."

Executive Director
