On Thursday, October 19, 2023 FOUNDERS in good standing of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew Foundation were invited to attend a concert performed by Cappella Romana at the Saint Nicholas National Shrine at the World Trade Center. An elegant reception followed at Skinos.

Cappella Romana chanted Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia, which is the first vocal album in the world to be recorded entirely in live virtual acoustics. It brings together art history, music history, performance, and technology to re-create medieval sacred sound in the cathedral of Hagia Sophia as an aural virtual reality. (Photo by J. Mindala)
