By Richard Barrett on October 5, 2015
ISOCM Conference Members, 2015

In June of 2014, I was a participant in Kurt Sander’s Pan-Orthodox Liturgical Music Symposium at Northern Kentucky University. While I was there, a gentleman whose acquaintance I had newly made, one David Lucs, on hand to give a presentation on children’s music education, was rather excitedly asking virtually everybody during a coffee break, “Are […]

Review of Cappella Romana’s Passion Week Performance

By Lynette Hull on April 25, 2014
Review of Cappella Romana's Passion Week Performance

(the Wall Street Journal also reviewed this performance:’Passion’ and Resurrection) During  Capella Romana’s recent performance of Soviet composer Maximilian Steinberg’s lost work, something became evident to the singers and the audience: while Steinberg’s Passion week is a very complex and lovely piece of choral music, it is a profound confession of faith. Vladimir Morosan gave […]

Lost Russian Passion Week Cycle , Opus 13, by Maximilian Steinberg to debut 90 years after composition

Living in a University town offers many benefits.  One of the most delightful is meeting Orthodox scholars from all over the world.  It was my pleasure to meet Alexander Lingas, the author of the following article.    Knowing of Father Dan Skvir’s love of music, his discovery of a long forgotten piece of music and […]

The current state of things with the Saint John of Damascus Society's Psalm 103 project

Back in April, I posted about the Saint John of Damascus Society‘s Kickstarter campaign for the first phase of the Psalm 103 project. I’m happy to say that it was more than successful, and we’re just about to deliver on one of the first parts this phase. Before I get to that, let me tell […]

Notes from the psalterion, updated and annotated — part V, in which bricks and mortar concerns are considered

By Richard Barrett on August 22, 2013

This is post 5 of 6 in the series “Notes from The Psalterion” Far more time has elapsed between the last installment of this series and this one than I had intended; my apologies. I’ll try to wrap it up with relative despatch; I had not really expected that this project would take more than […]

The Gorbik Master Class — An Auditor's Reflection

The following article was written by my wife, Maria Sheehan. There was great anticipation in the choir from St. Tikhon’s as the day for Maestro Gorbik’s arrival approached. The seminarians were already carrying their normal course load, many caring for their families in addition to maintaining their duties as clergy or altar servers. Yet in […]
