On Saturday 28 March, after the vigil, Mikhail Ivanovich spoke with the rector of the church, Archpriest Yaroslav Belikov, asking about the history of the parish, the attitude of the local population and authorities toward Russians, and the activities of the Russian Orthodox community in Geelong.
The parishioners not only enjoyed the concert program but were also spiritually enriched during the services, where the choir members sang (directed by Nektary Aleksandrovich Kotlarov). A special gift was the presentation of the new ROMCA album.
Closing the evening, the musicians invited everyone to a special concert on September 6 at the Sydney Opera House to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary.
Father Yaroslav, rector of the Joy of All Who Sorrow Church, thanked the Ambassador M.I. Petrakov for his support of this significant event, and ROMCA vocalists for their inspiration and spiritual experience.
