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.
