Beloved in the Lord,
Attached you will find the Archbishop’s encyclical (in both Greek and English) regarding the School of Byzantine Music of our Archdiocese, which thi
s year celebrates 40 years of continuous service in the United Kingdom.
The School, under the direction of the Revd Protopresbyter Joseph Paliouras, offers a full programme of lessons in Byzantine Music (theory and practice), chanting, liturgy, typikon, and folk choirs, together with European music and traditional instruments. Classes are open to children and adults alike and provide a vital opportunity to be formed in the living tradition of ecclesiastical music.
We ask that you kindly share this information widely in your parishes and encourage participation. As the Archbishop notes, this work strengthens both the liturgical and spiritual life of our Archdiocese, and we hope many will support and enrol.
The blessing and official start of lessons will take place on Monday, 6th October 2025 at 7:00 pm at the School’s premises in Wood Green.
With prayerful wishes,
+Archim. Nephon Tsimalis
Protosyncellus
