Ft.Lauderdale, FL- The Orthodox Christian Network is pleased to announce the appointment of Vladimir Morosan, Doctor of Musical Arts, as the programming director of one of its on line radio networks. He has worked in the field of Orthodox Church music for over thirty-five years. After completing his undergraduate degree in music at Occidental College, in California, he received his Masters and Doctoral degrees in Choral Music from the University of Illinois. He has directed choirs in parishes of Russian, Serbian, and Antiochian backgrounds and has taught and lectured widely at church music workshops and conferences. He is Founder and Artistic Director of Archangel Voices, a professional-level choral ensemble dedicated to producing CD's of Orthodox liturgical music in English. His book "Choral Performance in Pre-Revolutionary Russia" (1986) is considered the definitive study of this topic. He is President of Musica Russica, a publishing house specializing in Orthodox and Russian music and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the “Monuments of Russian Sacred Music” series. He is also the composer and editor of numerous choral arrangements, chiefly for Orthodox liturgical use, and the host of “Icons in Sound,” an internet-radio podcast that airs on the Orthodox Christian Network.
The Executive Director of the OCN Fr. Christopher Metropulos stated, "We are honored to welcome Dr. Moroson and his dedicated wife Helen as Program Director's of The RUDDER. They bring a wealth of knowledge and a zeal for the faith that our listeners will cherish for many years to come." Listeners will also enjoy the new interactive radio station page as well as featured programs. For those still wondering what the RUDDER is our directors offer the following. The Rudder aims to provide a serene listening experience of profound spiritual beauty, offering the finest recordings of Orthodox liturgical music around the clock, drawn from the world-wide heritage of Orthodox liturgical chant and sacred choral music. The Rudder also marks the feasts and seasons of the Orthodox liturgical year by means of musical programming. This Internet Radio station seeks to acquaint listeners with Orthodox music in a variety of styles, national origins, and languages.
The Orthodox Christian Network is one of the official agencies of SCOBA, commissioned by our hierarchs to create a national, sustainable and effective media witness for Orthodox Christianity throughout North America. OCN produces the only nationally syndicated Orthodox Christian radio broadcast, as well as several other outreach programs, including DVDs and Internet-based media, in direct collaboration with sister SCOBA agencies (e.g. IOCC, OCMC, OCF, OCPM), as well as with various Orthodox Christian jurisdictions and pan-Orthodox, para-church organizations. Our goal is to engage the broader culture of North America with Orthodox Christianity's rich theological, spiritual and moral heritage, and to thereby strengthen the Orthodox Church's witness and contribution to the culture in which we live.
