THESSALONIKI (Town) MAKEDONIA CENTRAL
For 36 years, the Children’s Choir of Aghia Triada of Thessaloniki
has been an example of juvenile cultural presence.
It was created by the gifted young musician Theodoros Papakonstantinou
(1948-1969); his foremost work, the Mass of St. John Chrysostomos, is often performed
by the Choir in the Holy Church of Aghia Triada. His elder brother, Vasilis Papakonstantinou,
became his successor. Under his direction, the choir won fame in Greece
and abroad (Italy, Hungary,
former Czechoslovakia, Germany,
Bulgaria, former Yugoslavia,
France, Switzerland).
The medals and prizes the Choir was awarded in both Panhellenic and
International competitions verify the high level of its performances. A highlight
in the Choir's career was its participation in the performance of the 3rd Symphony
of Leonard Bernstein (Athens,
1985), with the European Youth Orchestra and the Youth Choir of Vienna,
with the composer on the podium. The most recent appearances of the Choir took
place in the Thessaloniki Megaron; G. Mahler’s “Symphony No 8”,
B. Britten’s “War Requiem”, G. Bizet's “Carmen”
and Alkis Baltas’ Children’s Opera “Momo”.

It was founded in 1999, as a result of the desire of young chanters,
who serve with great devotion the lecterns of Holy Churches in Thessaloniki, to
create a new vocal ensemble, consisted of students of the three most important
teachers of this city: Ch. Theodosopoulos, Ath. Karamanis and Ch. Taliadoros.
From its first appearance, it already won the acclaim of critics for
its sound and style. The Choir participated in Petros Gaitanos’ CD “The
Source of Life” with Byzantine hymns devoted to Virgin Mary; it has also
appeared in the Thessaloniki Megaron, and in the Holy Churches of St.
Demetrius, God's
Wisdom and Panagouda;
it has participated in seminars, and often gives concerts with P. Gaitanos.
The Choir was named “Hedymelon” in the end of 2002. Ioannis
Tsamis is its leader.
