Please join us for the second of two webinars hosted by Fordham University’s Orthodox Christian Studies Center and co-presented with Cappella Romana:

Language in American Orthodox Music: Liturgical and Pastoral Perspectives
Monday, 24 May 2021
Via Zoom at 8 PM BST / 3 PM Eastern / Noon Pacific.

t has often been asserted that it is the tradition of the Orthodox Church to worship in the local language. Yet the historical reality has been far more complex, with Armenian, Coptic, ecclesiastical Greek, Syriac and Church Slavonic often having been maintained as liturgical languages distinct from contemporary local vernaculars. Although the audible portions of Eastern Christian public worship are devoted almost entirely to singing, the role that music plays in the linguistic inculturation of Orthodoxy has received relatively little attention.

Moderator Richard Barrett (Ages Initiatives and the St John of Damascus Society) will lead a discussion of how music affects changing relationships between heritage and local languages in the Orthodox churches of America. With three leading scholars and practitioners: Dr Jessica Suchy-Pilalis (SUNY Potsdam), Dr Vitaly Permiakov and Fr John El Massih (both St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary).
