On April 1, 2023, the 150th birthday of the great Russian composer Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, the clergy of St. Nicholas Patriarchal Cathedral in New York served a panikhida at his grave in Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, New York. The service was led by the cathedral cleric and Vice-Chancellor of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA, Priest Mark Rashkov. Before the memorial service, the “Capella” trio performed one of the composer’s most beautiful works, “Rejoice, O Virgin Theotokos.” After the prayer, the participants recalled the stages of Sergei Vasilyevich’s life, especially noting his many years in America. On their way back to New York, the group stopped by the house where Rachmaninoff lived for more than 10 years of his life.
