St. Romanos Choir at Saint George Orthodox Church

St. Romanos Choir performs at The Beirut Chants Festival 2013.

The choir of the Beirut Greek Orthodox Archdiocese was founded in 2000, and debuted with a recital in St. George’s church in Souk el Gharb.

It is essentially composed of graduates of St Romanos School, in addition to priests and friends of the choir, and conducted by the director of the school Father Romanos Gebran.

Its performance is based on Simon Karas’ school of music and Spyros Pavlakis’ method, in addition to the current Antiochian tradition.

The choir aims to perform well known chants, namely Mitri Al Murr’s, former protopsalti of the the Antiochian patriarchate, and Andraos Mouaikel’s, in addition to new recitations.

It presents services with Arabic and Greek recitations, and has some available recordings.

The choir is currently composed of 35 members who perform recitals and participate in the new albums’ recordings.
