Christ is Risen! Христос Воскресе! The ROCM 33 speakers have been announced. This week we’re spotlighting each one — starting with one of the driving forces in church musician education and the person whose hard work made gatherings like this possible.
Very Reverend Father Andrei Papkov graduated from Holy Trinity Seminary in Jordanville and holds a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from New England Conservatory. He served as deacon and protodeacon for twenty-eight years — celebrated throughout the Russian diaspora as an exceptional Orthodox bass soloist. In 1992 he founded the summer liturgical music program at Holy Trinity Monastery that eventually became the Synodal School of Liturgical Music. He served as Cathedral Dean at Holy Virgin Protection Cathedral in Chicago and Des Plaines from 2005 to 2022 — the very cathedral where ROCM 2026 is being hosted. He currently chairs the Synodal Liturgical Music Commission of ROCOR.
Having Father Andrei as a speaker at ROCM 33 is something genuinely special.
