The main goals and objectives of the choir: 1. the study and presentation of the works of the main Byzantine and post-Byzantine composers, 2. the formal study and analysis of the various “types” of composition, 3. the general promotion of the Psaltic Art, with scholarly substantiation and skilled technique, and 4. the chanting of entire divine services during times of worship. Up to now, “The Maestros of the Psaltic Art” have offered over four hundred presentations, both in Greece and abroad (Europe, Asia, America, and Australia). They have chanted in renowned music halls (such as the “Main Hall” of the University of Athens, the “Music Hall” of Athens and Thessalonica, the Opera House of Sydney, the “Music Hall” of Seoul, etc.), as well as in numerous Byzantine churches (such as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens, the Church of St Andrew in Patra, the “Ekatontapyliani” Church on the Island of Paros, the Church of Apocalypse on Patmos, the main Monastery of Meteora, the Church of St Lazarus in Larnaca, Cyprus, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Basilica of St Mark in Venice, the Church of St Paraskeva in Iasi, Romania, etc.) and also during various important services and ceremonies (such as in the Island of Aegina for the grand opening of the new church of Saint Nektarios, in Great Hellas-Calabria and Sicily for the official pilgrimage of the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeus, in Nazareth for the 2000 years since the Annunciation, etc.).

Chaldæakes</b> is a Professor of Byzantine Musicology and Psaltic Art at the Department of Music Studies of the School of Philosophy of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. He teaches on both undergraduate and postgraduate level at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, but also at other Universities and Institutes. His published scientific work comprises more than 200 studies (monographs, articles, entries in encyclopædias, papers in conferences, essays in various collective volumes, and scientific reviews, etc.), mostly on various subjects (theoretical, historical, aesthetical, etc.) pertaining to the field of Byzantine Musicology and Psaltic Art. He has participated in conferences both in Greece and abroad, and has been a member of the scientific and organizing committees in most of them. He has also been an active member of various international scientific societies, whose activities are focused on Byzantine musicological studies. At the same time, he has been the director of an artistic group of international renown, the choir “The Maestros of the Psaltic Art”. With this choir, he has given, up to the present day, more than 400 performances in Europe, Asia, America, and Australia, and has appeared in radio and TV shows in Greece and abroad. He is also an internationally acclaimed chanter, i.e. an artist-performer of Byzantine music, and he has recorded, alone or with various ensembles, often under his own direction, Byzantine hymns—several of them were discovered by himself in the context of his ongoing academic research—or even musical works of secular or folk music and compositions of contemporary music as well. His entire activity as an internationally acclaimed musician in his twofold capacity, both as a scientific researcher and university professor, and as an artist, composer, interpreter, and director of musical ensembles, explores new paths toward a global, multifaceted, and innovative approach to Byzantine Musicology and Psaltic Art.<br> <b>WEBSITE:</b> <a href="https://www.achilleaschaldaeakes.gr/" title="" target="_blank"><b>www.achilleaschaldaeakes.gr</b></a></span></p> <p style="font-family: Manrope, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"><b>Choir "Enechema"</b><br>When we are about to chant or teach chanting, it is necessary to begin with an “apechema.’’ The “apechema’’ delineates the sound which is going to define and characterise the melody of the music. The chanting choir “Enechema,” consistently following the definition given by Ioannis Agiopolitis to this word, is a choir consisting purely of students, whose gathering for worship takes place in Sts. Anargyroi Church in Ilioupoli. This is where they started their course in teaching, too. The Head of the choir is Mr. Sotirios Koutsouris, surrounded by a group of teachers, young and promising Byzantine Chanting Certificate holders, university and highschool students. Every single thing that begins, has to begin from God and end in God.</span></p> <p style="font-family: Manrope, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"><b>Sotirios Koutsouris</b><br>Sotirios Koutsouris was born in 1994 in Athens, Greece, where he completed his highschool studies.
