Byzantine Music Days: Christmas Hymns
Νοσταλγική, αργή βραδιά choral
The Byzantine Music Days festival, titled "Genres and generations of contemporary psaltic art" and curated by performer and theologian Zaharias Karounis, offers a four-day musical and cultural pilgrimage through the world of Byzantine music. The festival highlights the vibrant continuity of psaltic art and the manifestations of a tradition that remains creatively alive. The first day of the festival is dedicated to Christmas, the "metropolis of all holy days." Through the hymns of the Great Hours, Vesper, and Orthros, ecclesiastical hymnography contemplates the mystery of the Divine Incarnation. Chanters' choirs perform works by prominent hymnodists and composers of the Byzantine tradition, highlighting the poetic and musical richness of the celebration.
