for Silver Anniversay Concert in Denver

---

On July 6, 2001 I had the privilege of performing my lecture recital Liszt and the Cross for Greek Orthodox Archbishop Demetrios as part of the silver anniversary concert of the National Forum of Greek Orthodox Church Musicians.   I also performed Victoria Bond's Potirion Sotiriu and Franck's glorious A Major Violin Sonata with good friend and fellow church musician Kevin Lawrence.     The concert was held in the remarkable Assumption Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Denver.  The Cathedral is another stunning example of the powerful use of traditional byzantine iconography. Program:  Liszt and the Cross: Music as Sacrament in the B Minor Sonata Potirion Sotiriu (1999)     Victoria Bond Sonata in A Major            Cesar Franck	Barnes takes a bow at Assumption Cathedral after his performance of Liszt's B Minor Sonata
