At one point it seemed there would not be a 2010 Russian Orthodox Choir Singer’s and Conductor’s Conference, due to its cancellation (in Brisbane). Fortunately, the wonderfully committed and stoic Andrei Laptev, a considerable musician and veritable asset to the Russian Orthodox Community in Australia, decided to not accept this travesty and asked the community if there was sufficient interest to maintain the venue in another location (Cabramatta, NSW). We all answered ‘yes’, and Andrei obtained a Blessing to proceed with a plan which would ultimately result in a truly fantastic event. (more…)

В среду 3 марта в Данденонге состоялось пастырское совещание духовенства южного округа Австралийской епархии.
Перед совещанием прошло общее говение духовенства и совместная служба Преждеосвященных даров.
Божественная Литургия Преждеосвященных Даров одна из самых прекрасных и умилительных служб Церкви. Верующие стремятся хотя бы один раз за пост присутствовать на ней и причаститься Святых Христовых Таин. И особенно она торжественно выглядит при соборном служении.
Верующему человеку можно легко понять чувства молящегося, который впервые попал на эту службу. В этот день, по словам такого человека, его переполняли чувства присутствия при очень важном моменте в его жизни. Соборное песнопение священников еще больше усиливало благолепное состояние и души и разума. (more…)

In July of 2008 the Australian and New Zealand Diocesan Liturgical Music Committee organised the 5th Diocesan Choral Conference.
The conference took place in Sydney over a period of 5 days and its already rich programme was greatly enhanced by the presence and inclusion of the Moscow Danilov Monastery Choir.
Conference activities included a range of lectures, workshops, demonstrations, divine services and concerts, all aimed at teaching and improving the skills of church choir conductors, singers and readers.
The participation in the conference of many young people from parishes all over the diocese was particularly encouraging as it attests to continued interest, growth and development of our church choirs.
The organising members of the Diocesan Liturgical Committee should be very heartily congratulated for their tremendous effort and for a job done so well. May our Lord bless their endeavours, always! (more…)
