Out of the Ashes of Smyrna Tour
Cappella Romana
John Michael Boyer
Associate Director
The acclaimed ensemble Cappella Romana (“simply beautiful” New York Times) comes to Boston and New Orleans this November. Led by John Michael Boyer, associate music director, they will sing Byzantine Chant at the beautifully renovated Dormition Church in Somerville and one of the oldest Greek communities in the country, Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral in New Orleans.
During the ethnic cleansing in Asia Minor that included the 1922 burning of Smyrna (İzmir), Greek-speaking refugees fled to cities in Greece and around the world. With them they brought their own traditions of Byzantine chanting, infused with irrepressible joy and transcendent beauty.
Don’t miss Cappella Romana!
