The Spirit of Orthodoxy
Choir sings Orthodox Christian liturgical music in a professional
and prayerful manner. Our music glorifies God, expresses the
Orthodox faith and opens the treasury of Orthodox music to
the community.

The Spirit Of Orthodoxy
Choir was established in 1997 under the direction of Alexei
Shipovalnikov. The choir consists of singers from various
parishes and jurisdictions who are dedicated to church singing
and who desire to be witnesses to the faith through music.

These music selections
represent the three of schools of Russian Church music and
have been sufficiently translated into English. Some of the
choir's repertoire has been unheard in the West. The Choir
sings chiefly in English but also performs music in Church
Slavonic. Their repertoire witnesses to the range and quality
of the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church. Their
singing is a capella, without instrumentation. This is typical
of the Orthodox Church, where the human voice and soul are
invaluable in worship. Very Rev. Joseph Lickwar, 1999
