A Byzantine Christmas

The world-renowned vocal ensemble Cappella Romana returns to Sacramento with A Byzantine Christmas. Byzantine Chants will be in Greek, Arabic, and English at Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.

This concert will be led by Protopsaltis of the Metropolis of San Francisco John Michael Boyer, and also featuring Lebanon-born Protopsaltis of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese Deacon John (Rassem) El Massih. All proceeds will go to families in need.

Cappella Romana first appeared in Sacramento in 2009 with a program of Medieval Byzantine Chant, and recently returned from a tour to Romania where it was a featured ensemble in the Iasi Byzantine Music Festival. Its next European tour includes stops in London and Budapest.
