Cappella Romana Vocal Ensemble
Mark Bailey, Guest Director
Ukraine and its capital Kiev were either the point of origin or the gateway leading to a golden age of choral music for the Orthodox Church in Eastern Europe. Slavic music expert and Ukrainian American Mark Bailey (Yale Russian Chorus, St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Seminary) returns to lead a program of Ukrainian sacred masterpieces. His last appearance with Cappella Romana, which The Oregonian called “pure, sumptuous pleasure,” sold out in 2006. Pre-concert talks at 7pm. |
