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, highlighting the vibrant continuity of psaltic art and the many manifestations of a tradition that remains creatively alive to date.

The second day will focus on the Divine Liturgy, the heart of Orthodox worship, where the ecclesial body unites “in one mouth and one heart,” praising the Holy Trinity and participating in the mystery of the Divine Eucharist. The Byzantine Choir “AINOUNTES” will perform chants from the Divine Liturgy, highlighting the deep connection among speech, melos, and worship practices. Alongside them, women’s choirs will chant hymns from the services of the Paraklesis and the Salutations (Akathist) to the Most Holy Theotokos.
