The Choir sings in the Ukrainian and old-church slavonic languages. The Choir has close links with the Greek-catholics (in Ukraine). For decades, the Choir strived to keep Ukrainian (liturgical and worldly) culture alive. It did so whilst the Greek-catholic Church fought to survive its suppressors. It continues to do so, joining in the happiness of the Greek-catholics' freedom today. The Choir was founded by Ukrainian born and raised musicologist Myroslaw Antonowycz (+2006). At present, the Utrecht Byzantine Choir is directed by Grigori Sergei Sarolea. Grigori was born and raised in a Slavic-byzantine church Community in The Hague. You are listening to the 'Veruju' (Credo) by M. Antonowycz. It is taken from the album: 'Goddelijke Liturgie' (Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom) . The UBK frequently sings during the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom bot...    less
