Excerpts from a symposium on Byzantine Chant at Hellenic Centre, London, England on May 14, 2013.



From what I can tell from the video, papers were given by Dr. Alexander Lingas, Fr. Iosif Paliouras (director of the Archdiocese's School of Byzantine Music), Dr. Demetrios Skrekas, and Dr. Ioannis Arvanitis. Mr. Spyridon Antonopoulos, Ph.D. candidate at the City University London, moderated the event.

Are the entirety of these most interesting talks and musical presentations available? Thank you.

Το συμπόσιο ήταν υπό την αιγίδα της Αρχιεπισκοπής Θυατείρων και Μεγάλης Βρετανίας και υποστηρικτές ήταν το City University London, το Hellenic Centre και το BBC Radio Three. Στην εκδήλωση συμμετείχαν η χορωδία της σχολής βυζαντινής μουσικής της Αρχιεπισκοπής Θυατείρων και Μεγάλης Βρετανίας και η χορωδία Cappella Romana την οποία διευθύνει ο Δόκτωρ Alexander Lingas. Το συμπόσιο ξεκίνησε με ομιλίες. Η διευθύντρια του ελληνικού κέντρου κυρία Αγάθα Καλησπέρα καλωσόρισε τους παρευρισκόμενους.
