What is TLAA?
The Liturgical Arts Academy (TLAA) is a one-week, in-person program for learning Byzantine chant and iconography in the tradition of the Orthodox Church. Each day combines up to six hours of instruction with morning and evening worship, including Matins, Vespers, Compline, Agiasmos, Divine Liturgy, and Vigil, so students practice what they learn in the life of the Church.
Our chant students study with highly respected chanters and teachers John Michael Boyer and Samuel Herron. Our iconography students paint under Fr. Anthony Salzman, known for his patience and skill in teaching students to paint well. Whichever path they take, students grow in their use and understanding of color, form, and line in the Byzantine technique.
At TLAA, chanters and iconographers learn side by side, from their instructors and from one another. The friendships formed here last well beyond the week, becoming a lasting community for continued learning, fellowship, and faith.
