WESTERN EUROPEAN DIOCESE: 8 August 2025
The annual Synodal Liturgical Music Conference in Germany concludes

On the feast day of St Seraphim of Sarov, 1 August, 2025, the annual session of the European Church Music Summer School of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia concluded in Germany.

During two weeks of intensive study, students from several European countries learned about the practices and disciplines necessary for pious service on kliros and in parish choirs, guided by learned instructors.

This year marked the first occasion of a graduation from the school: the first cohort of students to complete successfully the three-year course of study were awarded certificates in recognition of their progress.
