Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Pittsburgh.
The objectives of the workshop are:
* To provide the basic knowledge of Byzantine Music theory and practice, in authentic style of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople
* The in-depth analysis of Byzantine Music at a scientific and scholarly level
* The provision of the necessary theoretical and practical training to practitioners of Christian Orthodox ecclesiastic chant, in solo and choral context
* The preservation and dissemination of
Byzantine
Music as science and art by means of lectures, presentations and
publications
