THE BYZANTINE CHOIR OF THE METROPOLIS

The Byzantine  Choir of our Metropolis was founded in 1998 with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Maximos. The Choir consists of students of the Byzantine Music Workshop, the chantors of the Greek Orthodox parishes of Western Pennsylvania and musicophiles in general. Occasionally, for formal presentations, the Choir is joined by reknown chantors from different parts of the USA and Canada. 

The choir has been joined by reknown chantors such as George Hatzichronoglou, Archon Hymnodist of the Great Church of Christ and Professor Constantin Lagouros, Archon Chantor of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto (Canada) to the USA. It has published two CDs with hymns in Greek and English in strict and authentic Byzantine tradition of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. 

The choir performs Byzantine Music in Greek, English, French and Arabic. The style is strictly traditional and Patriarchal.

The choir has been invited to a number of academic and religious events locally and across the USA for lecture-performance.

It has also celebrated  wedding and baptism services in traditional Orthodox style.
