St. Demetrios marks 50th Aniversary with Magnificent Debut of Gregory Condakes' Original Composition for
the Divine Liturgy
A choir of over 50 singers sang in front of a capacity crowd in the St. Demetrios Church of Weston, MA on Saturday, May 30th in celebration of the Church's 50th Anniversary. It was an evening to both celebrate the past and look to the future. The first part of the concert consisted of favorite Sunday hymns sung by the choir over the past half decade, all written by different composers and featuring The Heavens Are Telling by Joseph Haydn and Laudate Dominum (Praise The Lord, All Nations) by Mozart.

The highlight of the evening was the debut of the new composition for the Divine Liturgy by Gregory Condakes, Choir Director of the St. Demetrios Choir of Weston. In his own words, Greg says, "I did not set out to write an entire liturgical setting. Actually, I never even saw myself as a composer. But something inspired me - I think it was the passing of my parents - to write one hymn, a communion hymn which would blend the two languages, Greek and English, seamlessly. The music would be original yet somehow retain the essence of Byzantine chant. The hymn, Enite Ton Kyrion (Praise The Lord), practically wrote itself and immediately became a favorite of the choir."

Congratulations to Greg, the St. Demetrios Choir and Friends, John Morakis, Event Chairman, and everyone involved for a most unforgettable evening!
