Byzantine music
Stavropoleos Monastery (), also known as Stavropoleos Church () during the last century when the monastery was dissolved, is an Eastern Orthodox monastery for nuns in central Bucharest, Romania. Its church is built in "Brâncovenesc style". The patrons of the church (the saints to whom the church is dedicated) are St. Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The name "Stavropoleos" is the genitive case of "Stavropolis" (Greek, "The city of the Cross"). One of the monastery's constant interests is Byzantine music, expressed through its choir and the largest collection of Byzantine music books in Romania.
