The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the National University of Music Bucharest join forces to launch an international postgraduate program entirely dedicated to the study of Byzantine Μusic in both Academic Theory and Artistic Performance.
The program will start in October 2022, in a blended learning model, combining online teaching with traditional on-campus methods; the courses will be taught by academic staff from the partner Universities along with a number of guest Professors of international recognition accompanied by distinguished Byzantine Music performers, including the Archon Protopsaltis of the Holy Great Church of Christ Panagiotis Neochoritis.
The program structure is featured on the poster whereas admission requirements and application procedure will be made available to those interested by the end of June 2022.
Until then, prospect students should address themselves to Professors Achilleas CHALDÆAKES (axaldaiak[at]music.uoa[dot]gr) and Nicolae GHEORGHIȚĂ (naegheorghita[at]hotmail[dot]com).
We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to this program dedicated to both the performance of Byzantine Chant and the research of Orthodox Sacred Music!
