A course in Ecclesiastical Byzantine Music is offered at our Cathedral to prepare the next generation of capable chanters for our parish and other Orthodox parishes, enabling them to chant correctly and beautifully in the Byzantine style, in English. It is a 4-year program adapted from the Saint Romanos Ecclesiastic Music School in Beirut. The lessons are led by Joseph Moujaes as the head teacher, with Adib Ferzli as the assistant teacher. The course includes exams, through which students progress to the next year. The classes run each academic year from September to July.
In the first year of the program (2023-2024), 11 adult students and 3 youth students (under 18) enrolled and successfully passed the exams to continue their education into Year 2.
In the Academic Year 2024/2025, two classes are offered: one for the current students moving to Year 2, and another for new students enrolling in Year 1.
