St. Ephrem the Syrian Chanters’ Ministry

The Coptic Orthodox Church is blessed to have one of the oldest and most beautiful hymnological tradition. Many of our hymns date back to hundreds and thousands of years. Although all chanting in our Divine Liturgy is congregation for both men and women, it is the responsibility of the chanters (or psaltos) to lead the congregation in the proper chanting of these hymns, especially since in the longer melismatic hymns.

Our parish is pleased to offer a ministry for chanters where they can grow in their knowledge of the meaning and music of our hymns.
