In Memoriam ~ Lycourgos Angelopoulos, 1941-2014
The great master of Byzantine Music, Lycourgos Angelopoulos, reposed in the Lord, last Sunday, May 18th, 2014. He was a man of great faith, knowledge, talent and wisdom, as well as a uniquely joyous, friendly and generous person. He was famous all around the world for his work, and loved and cherished by the multitude of his pupils. I'm extremely proud of the fact that I helped, even in the very least, his voice, and those of his students and colleagues in the Greek Byzantine Choir to be heard around the globe through this channel. He was my master and mentor... and I am eternally grateful that I was given the privilege of meeting him and being his pupil. Χριστός Ανέστη, Δάσκαλε. Καλό Παράδεισο και καλή αντάμωση...
