Byzantine Music Concert: Thessalonian Tradition

This concert presents the rich tradition of Thessalonian sacred music performed by leading Thessalonian protopsaltis (cantor) Petros Papaemmanouil. The programme features music from ancient Thessalonian monasteries and works by great Byzantine composers such as Athanasios Karamanis and Charilaos Taliadoros. Original compositions are complemented by contemporary arrangements of Byzantine music by Thessalonian composer T. Papakonstantinou, performed by Philokallia Ensemble.

The concert takes place as part of the Archaion Kallos Orthodox Music Festival.
