Virtuoso chanter and scholar Ioannis Arvanitis from
Athens, Greece joins artistic director Alexander Lingas this
January to co-direct a program of majestic chants for
cathedrals and monasteries from the Eastern-Rite monastery
of Grottaferrata (Kryptoferrė), near Rome.
Byzantium
in Rome will draw from the many rich manuscripts of
Byzantine music in Grottaferrata¹s scriptorium and library,
including the Kanon in honor of St. Neilos, who founded the
monastery in 1004. Grottaferrata became one of the most
important outposts of Eastern Christian culture in the West,
part of the Magna Graecia on Italian soil. Thanks to a
generous grant from the A. G. Leventis Foundation, Cappella
Romana will help celebrate the millennium of the monastery
by recording this program for future CD release.
Cappella Romana is proud to announce the release of
its second recording on Gothic Records, Epiphany:
Medieval Byzantine Chant. Available for signing by
Ioannis Arvanitis and Cappella Romana singers at the
concerts.
This program will also be performed in
Victoria, BC. Concert
