Mission Statement

MISSION The mission of the vocal ensemble Cappella Romana is to experience and understand the transcendent beauty of the sacred music of the Christian East and West, especially of Byzantium, cultivating this rich cultural heritage and sharing it worldwide. VISION Cappella Romana transforms hearts and minds through encounters with the sacred musical inheritance of the Christian East and West, bringing to life these ancient and diverse traditions, especially of Byzantium, and their interactions with other cultures. Cappella Romana is devoted to the stewardship of this precious jewel of world culture through performances, recordings and publications, scholarship and education, engagement with heritage communities, and new artistic creation.

About This Cause

Cappella Romana is the only professional vocal ensemble in the world producing concerts and recordings of music from both Byzantium and Western Europe (the twinned heirs of the Roman Inheritance: thus the name Cappella Romana). It is the only organization producing full programs and CDs of medieval Byzantine chant, a repertoire for which it has been hired to sing all over North America and Europe, at such venues as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Utrecht Early Music Festival (Netherlands), St. Paul’s Cathedral (London), and the Istituto Pontificio Orientale (Rome). The ensemble also maintains a recording label (Cappella Records) with artists other than Cappella Romana that serve the mission, and a publishing department producing textbooks and scores of mission-centric music for the public.
