About this Event
All who love music and the Hellenic culture will have the opportunity to get to know, listen to and enjoy byzantine music in an event titled “Byzantine Music: an Ode to God and its Path through Time”.
What is byzantine music, where is it used, how does it sound? The presentation aims at bringing this rare and unique music genre which has been heard for centuries in all orthodox churches closer to you and take you on a journey through its history, tradition and mainly its sound with live chanting.
In the event organised by Omilos Eksipiretiton from Greece, with the participation of The Servers’ Society UK Association, some historical elements about byzantine music as a distinctive and vibrant genre of religious music will be presented and, through an interactive experiential workshop, the participants will experience the joy of expression through music and try out their own abilities at chanting!
The main speaker will be Mr. Lazaros Koumentakis, music teacher and Theologist/Protopsaltis, along with Ms Evangelia Gkioni, Psychotherapist-Writer and Mrs Marianna Smyrniotou, Art and Creative Director of Megas Seirios Publications.
We would be delighted if you could join us!
