The Crestwood Historical Society has invited our seminary Chapel Choir Director, Hierodeacon Philip (Majkrzak), to present a lecture about Orthodox Christian liturgical music on Saturday, September 25th, in the Metropolitan Philip Auditorium of the John G. Rangos Building on our campus.

HDn. Philip, who says that liturgical music has been "since childhood, one of my greatest joys," is eager to share the beauty of the liturgical services with members of the society and any guests wishing to attend the free and public lecture. Refreshments will be served at 10 a.m.; HDn. Philip will begin his lecture, titled "An Introduction to Orthodox Christian Liturgical Music," at 10:30 a.m.

The society has been a long-time friend of St. Vladimir's, and in 2008 presented St. Vladimir's with its "Exemplified Civil Spirit Award."
