Orthodox Virtual Chanter

Introductions Orthodox Virtual Chanter

Orthodox Virtual Chanter (OVC) is a digital resource for exploring Orthodox liturgical music, sacred books and educational materials. It is designed for chanters, choir members and anyone who wishes to experience the depth and beauty of Orthodox worship through sound and text.

An OVC account is required to access content within the app. Users can create an account through the official Orthodox Virtual Chanter website and then sign in with their username and password to use the app. Once logged in, users can browse, read and listen to available materials based on their access level.

With OVC, you can listen to traditional chants, follow church services and study Orthodox texts in both English and Serbian Cyrillic. The app combines modern technology with timeless tradition, offering convenient access to an expanding collection of sacred materials.

Many of the chants and service arrangements in OVC reflect the liturgical practice as observed at Saint Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church in Woolloongabba (Brisbane, Australia), where the project originated and continues to draw inspiration. The app is intended as a practical guide to how services are conducted in this local parish and does not claim to represent official liturgical standards or prescriptive practice for any Orthodox jurisdiction.

Many resources can also be viewed offline once saved on your device.

About OVC

Orthodox Virtual Chanter was created to preserve, teach and share the musical and textual heritage of the Orthodox Church. It brings together chants, books and educational materials in one easy-to-use platform.

The project originated within the community of Saint Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church in Woolloongabba (Brisbane, Australia) and continues to grow with the support of chanters, clergy and members of the Orthodox community.

OVC serves as both a learning tool and a devotional companion, offering insight into how church services are practiced locally while respecting the diversity of Orthodox traditions. It is not an official liturgical reference, but a community resource for education and participation.
