About Alexander Lingas
Artist Biography
Alexander Lingas is the founder and conductor of the choir Cappella Romana, which specializes in music of the Byzantine, Russian, and other Orthodox churches. He is also a prominent researcher of Byzantine and Greek musical traditions. Lingas is a fellow of the University of Oxford's European Humanities Research Centre, where he has turned out a steady stream of articles about the performance of Byzantine liturgical music. Some of Lingas' recordings have received considerable attention, including 2019's Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia; that release featured a digital reconstruction of the sound environment of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, for centuries an iconic seat of Eastern Orthodox music-making. In 2021, Lingas and Cappella Romana released Hymns of Kassianí, a collection of chants by a medieval Orthodox abbess who may be the first named female composer in the Western tradition.
