O Holy Father Nicholas, will be premiered at the opening of the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at the World Trade Center Ground Zero site in New York City.
The piece will be performed by Schola Cantorum, a Boston, Massachusetts-based choir, and conducted by Benedict Sheehan, an American conductor.
The work was commissioned specially for the occasion by the Schola Cantorum and its founder and artistic director Nektarios S. Antoniou, who serves also as archdiocesan director of culture and principal cantor at the National Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York.
