Christodoulos Halaris (1946–2019) was a distinguished Greek composer and musicologist renowned for his pioneering efforts in reconstructing ancient Greek and Byzantine music. After studying mathematics in Paris, he shifted his focus to musicology, drawing inspiration from religious iconography and traditional Greek melodies. Halaris meticulously revived and reimagined secular Byzantine compositions, producing over 50 albums that bridge historical authenticity with contemporary appreciation. His dedication led to the establishment of the Museum of Thessalonica, devoted to Greek music, and significant contributions to European medieval music projects.
