New York: The Holy Myrrhbearers Diocesan Women's Choir will host a concert at the Synodal Cathedral

The Holy Myrrhbearers Diocesan Women's Choir will appear in concert at the Synodal Cathedral of the Mother of God of the Sign in New York City on Sunday, February 6th at 2PM.

This will be the 92nd musical concert under the artistic direction of Princess Elena N. Wolkonsky, which benefits the restoration of the historical Synod building (Baker Mansion).

The concert is entitled: Pilgrimage of Praise: A Musical Journey Through the Liturgical Year. Its program will feature liturgical musical highlights of the entire festal cycle. Although the performance will be entirely in Church Slavonic, the HMWC never fails to provide their audience with informative handouts which include not only full translations into English, but also related background notes on liturgical meaning, composers and history of the music being presented. In this manner, the HMWC utilizes the beautiful sound of Russian Orthodox music as an inspiring missionary message to all.

This performance is dedicated to the memory of the distinguished émigré hymnographer Valeria K. Hoecke (1904 – 1986), on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of her repose.

All seats are $25, and all proceeds benefit the Synod Restoration Fund. 

Synodal Cathedral of the Mother of God of the Sign
75 East 93rd Street (corner Park Avenue)
New York, NY 10128
