Programme

Byzantine mysticism attached considerable importance to the belief in the angelic transmission of Church songs. Numerous depictions of angelic choirs surrounding God’s throne in biblical texts highlight the sonorous dimension of heavenly worship. Therefore, Orthodox liturgical music is based on melodies which, when transcribed and produced by hymnographers, are considered to be echoes or models of heavenly beauty.

The Romanian Orthodox Church brings together heritage from different cultures with Greek, Latin and Slavic roots, resulting in a unique musical expression that blends unison recitation with a wealth of polyphonic structures.

The Romanian Orthodox community of Barcelona opens the doors of the parish of Sant Jordi to share and celebrate the Easter liturgy.

A collaborative liturgical service with the Religious Affairs Office of Barcelona City Council and the Romanian Orthodox Church of Barcelona.
