The St. Romanos Chorale

Layout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace LayoutsThe St. Romanos Chorale takes its name from St. Romanos, a Syrian religious poet and hymnographer of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, considered to be the greatest of the Byzantine melodist-poets. The music, in both Byzantine and Russin styles, is sung predominately in English as well as Greek, Arabic and Slavonic.The St. Romanos Chorale has presented the beautiful and spiritual music of the Holy Orthodox Church throughout the Southwest, from the lower Rio Grande Valley, Dallas, Houston, Galveston, Ft. Worth, Austin, Waco, Beaumont, Texas to New Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana. The chorale has been invited and accepted invitations from many major colleges and universities in the South and Southwest, including The University of Texas, Rice University, Baylor University and three presentations at Tulane Universtity. Over the years, presentations have been made at least three times in the internationally acclaimed Rothko Chapel.The St. Romanos Chorale is self-funded. These trips and presentations, to which the public is invited, are made without cost to the host parish or venue. No admission charge is made and no donations are solicited. We are simply "putting Orthodoxy on wheels" as it has been called and and it is our privilege to share the richly spiritual and beautiful music of our church with people everywhere.
