The
Saint Lazarus Church Choir

|
| 'The
discipline of piety nourishes the SOUL with divine thoughts.What
then is more blessed than to imitate on earth the sacred chorals of angels'
choirs: to hasten to prayer at daybreak and to worship the creator with
hymns and SPIRITUAL SONGS; and then when the sun shines brightly and we
turn to our tasks, praying being our companion at all places, to season
our work with hymns as food with salt. For the state of the soul in which
there is joy and no sorrow is a blessing bestowed by the consolation
of hymns.' St.Athansius the Great |

In
1992, the Lazarica Church Choir was established and was under the direction
of Slobodan Zivkovic for its first year. Father Rade Radan was choir supporter
from the begining and great contributor - soloist with fine voice. From 1995 Tijana Miljovska, who had sung in the choir from its beginning took over as conductor. Tijana also sings in the Sydney Philharmonia Choir and has had numerous professional engagements with the Australian Opera and other choirs. Tijana has brought the Lazarica Choir to an enviable standard, particularly since most of its members are not professional or trained singers, but they do have love and dedication. Father Miodrag Peric is musical talent as well and plays important role in latest choir success. |

| Choir in Orasac | It has been a transforming experience for the singers also, since many of them have learned more about their Orthodox Faith and have had a deeper spiritual experience through singing the Divine Services. The Choir rehearses weekly, singing regularly on Sundays, feastdays and has sung in many Greek, Russian and Serbian churches from Adelaide to Singapore, and prepares recitals for important occasions on the church calendar. | |||||
