The 2020 Pan-Orthodox Music Symposium is the third of its kind hosted in North America hosted by the Finland-based ISOCM, and the first co-organized with the New York-based St. Vladimir’s Seminary. As one of the largest gatherings of Orthodox church musicians anywhere in the world over the last 20 years, this year’s event has garnered interest from Orthodox and non-Orthodox musicians alike. Over 200 people from twelve countries, thirty-nine US states, and six Canadian provinces are set to participate.
