Music
One of the distinctive aspects of Orthodox Christian music is that it is almost universally a capella (without instruments). Instruments are rarely used in the Liturgy or other worship services. The voice is considered the most perfect instrument for praising God.
​
Throughout the Festival, people will be able to experience this distinctive music through concerts, background music, and actual worship services. In addition, church members will be performing in the Gallery through the afternoon as people enjoy the displayed art and vendors
