The Romanian Orthodox Church is a melting pot of different cultures of Greek, Latin and Slavic origin, resulting in a unique cultural and musical expression that combines recitation in unison with a broad range of polyphonic structures. Byzantine mystic gave special relevance to the belief in the angelic transmission of the chants of the Church, and so the music of the Orthodox Liturgy is based on melodies which, transcribed and prepared by hymnographers, are considered reflections or models of celestial beauty.

The Romanian Orthodox community in Barcelona will open the doors of the parish church of Sant Jordi to share and celebrate the Easter Liturgy, offering a midnight concert of this very particular and unique type of music.
