The Holy Synod of the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece on Friday extended its sincerest condolences to the family of reposed master head chanter – or protopsaltis – Charilaos Taliadoros, who passed away last week in Thessaloniki at the age of 95.
Taliadoros, an Archon of the Archdiocese of Constantinople, for decades taught Byzantine ecclesiastical music at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, at the Macedonian Conservatory and at the municipal School of Byzantine Music.
