Orchestra of St. Luke's, America's foremost and most versatile chamber orchestra, is acclaimed for its mastery of a diverse repertoire spanning the Baroque to the contemporary. First organized at the Caramoor International Music Festival in the summer of 1979, the Orchestra evolved from the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble, which was established in 1974 with Ensemble members forming the Orchestra's artistic core as principal players. Donald Runnicles was principal conductor 2002-2007, succeeding Sir Charles Mackerras, music director from 1998 to 2001, and Sir Roger Norrington, who held that post from 1990 to 1994.
St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble programs include chamber works, music for chamber orchestra, chamber operas, and premiere performances of contemporary works that reflect the versatility that has become St. Luke's trademark. The Ensemble currently consists of 21 virtuoso artists who together form the artistic nucleus of the larger Orchestra of St. Luke's. The St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble presents six concerts at The Morgan Library & Museum, a four-concert series at the Brooklyn Museum (which is broadcast on WQXR), and a four-concert series at Dia:Beacon in upstate New York.

This Syrian village, Saidnaya, where houses are built around a rock with a very old convent at the top, is considered a place for religious pilgrimage.
A steep climb is the only way up to the convent, which is said to date back to the Emperor Justinian.
Legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to Justinian and asked him to found the convent.
After entering through a maze of passages, you finally reach the Chapel of the Virgin. The walls are covered with beautiful icons including one said to have been painted by St. Luke.
This chapel was very famous to Christians and at one point was the second Christian place of pilgrimage after Jerusalem, the crusaders called it "Notre Dame de Sardeneye".
Greetings and love from Syria

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
Thank you for including me among your friends.
I greatly admire all the interesting and amazing talents you have
and am so honored by this friendship with you.
