Conducting the ensemble on this occasion was Dr. Vladimir Morosan, one of America's most important authorities on Orthodox music in the Slavic tradition. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Cappella Romana made its European debut in March 2004 at the Byzantine Festival in London, where the ensemble performed to over 2,000 in St. Paul's Cathedral.
