2007 SFGOCM Choir Conference in Savannah, GA

Conference chairman Jim Pethis and his committee along with the entire St. Paul community are to be commended for a job well done. We thank you Savannah on this year of your 100th anniversary for your hospitality and royal treatment we all received.  By most measures the Choir Conference was an enjoyable and spiritually uplifting weekend. The 100+ participants filled the second floor of the church in an antiphonal type arrangement while guest conductor Chris Kypros and guest organist/composer Chris Zervos were at the far end of the second floor where the parish choir normally sings. Kypros brought Zervos' rendition of the Divine Liturgy to new heights, elevating it to a living liturgy through vocal expression His Grace, Bishop Demetrios of Xanthos, while unfortunately retired, filled in for +His Eminence, Metropolitan Alexios. A great idea was set forth for us all attendees had Friday night off to explore the host city. Although there were very few children this year, Dr. Joanna Hill got them to learn some nondenominational Christian music, very well performed and received at the Saturday dinner.
