2nd SUMMER SCHOOL FOR PSALTRIES
(Women Chanters of Byzantine Music):
A Summer Seminar/Workshop for Byzantine Music
The 2nd Summer School for Psaltries will take place from 7th to 12th July 2025 at the Mount Pelion beautiful village KALA NERA (South Pelion) and specifically at the Municipal Cultural Center of Kala Nera.
For second year Psaltries from Greece or abroad will have the opportunity to meet again, having as common place Byzantine Music. During this seminar open classes, discussions and chanting will take place.
The 2nd Summer School for Psaltries – Kala Nera South Pelion, aims to constitute a permanent meeting point for women who in any way deal with Byzantine Music (professional chanters or amateurs). It is a unique and groundbreaking idea which combines not only seminary open lessons but also master classes of technique and interpretation. Original compositions of Byzantine, Post Byzantine and contemporary composers will be heard through the voice of women chanters of orthodox ecclesiastical chant.
