Byzantine Chant in the Received Tradition for the Feasts of the Nativity and Theophany (Epiphany)

The virtuoso Byzantine cantor from Athens Achilleas Chaldeakis makes his Cappella Romana directing debut in a program of Byzantine chants for the Christmas season, including ecstatic verses from the Polyeleos for Christmas. Dr. Chaldeakis studied Theology and Musicology in Athens and is director of the Maestros of the Psaltic Art, an internationally acclaimed Byzantine choir. His research activity focuses on Byzantine musicology, music folklore, Christian worship, hagiology and hymnology.
