Интересно, что митрополит Антоний (Сури) выступал на таком вечере. А в какой именно части программы говорил — перед концертом Джорджа Нема или после?
А
Антон Виноградов
Интересно, что митрополит Антоний (Сури) вообще там выступал. Евгения, а у тебя есть ссылка на полную программу вечера или видео? Хотелось бы понять, в каком именно месте он вставил слово — до Немы или уже после.

Интересно, да, али ми је чудно што је митрополит Антоније (Сури) говорио на вечери са Џорџом Нема. Да ли је његова реч била на почетку, пре концерта, или је затворио програм после наступа? Ако неко има видео или распоред, било би јасније.

Митрополит Антоније је говорио на самом почетку, одмах после уводне молитве, пре него што је Џорџ Нема уопште изашао на сцену. То је било кратко, неколико реченица о значају уметности и вере. Ако нађеш снимак, јасно се види редослед.

Thanks Sofija, that clears it up. Good to know the Metropolitan spoke right after the opening prayer, before George Nema even came on stage. A short word on art and faith at the start of the evening makes sense for an Orthodox school event.

Samuel Anderson
Yeah, that timing makes sense—starting with the Metropolitan’s few words on art and faith sets a good tone before the music kicks in. Our parish does something similar at school concerts. Did the whole thing run long that night?

Елена Иванова
Интересно, да — я тоже удивилась, что владыка выступал именно там. Полной программы под рукой нет, но из того, что помню, его слово было сразу после приветствия директора школы, ещё до выхода Джорджа Немы на сцену. А ты сам был на вечере или просто по отзывам смотришь?
S
Sophia Carter
I see the Metropolitan spoke right after the opening prayer and the school director’s welcome, before George Nema even stepped on stage. That short word on art and faith at the very beginning feels exactly right for an Orthodox school night. Did anyone record those few sentences?
M
Mark Baker
Yeah, starting with the Metropolitan right after the opening prayer really framed the whole night. I remember him mentioning how iconography and music both point us toward the same divine beauty. Did you catch any of George Nema’s quieter pieces later on?
Т
Татьяна Комарова
Да, я тоже заметила, что его слово было сразу после директора. А вот интересно, он упомянул про наш хор или нет? Я была на концерте, но с задних рядов, поэтому не всё расслышала.
A
Anna Wilson
Yeah, the Metropolitan's point about iconography and music both drawing us to divine beauty really stuck with me too. I especially liked how George Nema's quieter pieces later on felt almost like a prayer themselves, especially that one soft hymn arrangement. Did you stay for the whole thing after that?
Д
Дарья Андреева
Да, его слово шло сразу после директора, как всегда в таких случаях. Про хор он не упомянул, только поблагодарил школу и артиста. А ты что, с задних рядов совсем ничего не расслышала из его речи?
S
Stephen King
Yeah, that line about iconography and music both pointing to divine beauty hit home for me too. I stuck around after the quiet pieces and was glad I did; George Nema closed with an old Arabic chant that felt like it came straight from the church choir I sing with on Sundays. You end up staying till the end?
