St. Symeon Orthodox Church Choir

The St. Symeon Orthodox Church Choir is part of St. Symeon Orthodox Church, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America located in Birmingham, Alabama. The choir has been actively involved in recording Orthodox hymns and liturgical music, with notable releases such as "Let My Prayer Arise: Hymns of the Great Fast," "Hymns of the Nativity of Christ," "Our God Is in Heaven and on Earth," and "Come, Bless the Lord." These recordings reflect the choir's commitment to preserving Orthodox musical traditions while making them accessible to new generations.

The choir was specifically sought out by Holy Virgin Cathedral to record the Akathist in English, highlighting their reputation for quality liturgical chanting. Their music often includes traditional melodies and hymns, sometimes performed in English, aiming to bridge cultural gaps and connect listeners with the spiritual heritage of the Orthodox Church. The choir's work is part of the broader musical activities of St. Symeon Orthodox Church, which itself is a community rich in cultural and spiritual diversity.
