The Choir members video-recorded themselves singing the 3 Paschal Hymns–Dhefte Lavete Fos, Tin Anastasin & Hristos Anesti–using a click track from their homes. The recordings were then mixed by Nikolas Polite, a member of the choir, into this audio recording (the video recording of this virtual choir will be posted early during Bright Week). This was our way of connecting with each other and making a musical offering for the Pascha of Our Lord.
