Byzantine Chanters

Byzantine chanters

Who to contact:
Evren Sasmazer, Protopsaltis​

Byzantine chant is at the heart of the music of the Greek/Antiochian tradition of Orthodox worship. The purpose of the music is to deliver the words of our hymnography of the Church. Our Byzantine chanters assist the priest by chanting during weekday services, baptisms, weddings, and other services of the Church.

Listen to Byzantine chant here.
