An information event for the newly established School of Byzantine Music of the Holy Archdiocese of Australia was held on Thursday, December 17, at the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Redford, Sydney.
The event was attended by Archbishop Makarios of Australia, who addressed a short greeting, while four successful psaltes spoke at the event, namely, the Director of the Sydney School Branch, Vassilios Psilakos, Asterios Zouriakas, Dimitrios Koumparoulis and Andreas Psarommatis.
The speakers presented and analyzed the aspects of the sacred art of Byzantine music while they informed the audience about the registration process at the Sydney School Branch, as well as about the extremely low tuition fees.
Those who are interested in learning Byzantine Music and be introduced to chanting can refer for further information and registration on the website of the Saint Andrew’s Theological College: www.sagotc.edu.au.
It is noted that the classes of the School of Byzantine Music in Sydney will start next February and will be held in three parts of the city: a) In the Holy Cathedral of the Annunciation in Redfern; b) In the Church of the Resurrection of Christ; and c) in the Church of Saint John the Forerunner in the area of Parramatta.
