Nicolaos Pantelopoulos was born in Montreal and ever since elementary school, was Georgios K. Michalakis' beloved friend.  An excellent and talented agiograph (he is the nephew of Gerasimos, a well renowned agiograph) he studied architecture and then left Montreal to study at the university of Athens where he obtained his Theology degree.  He is presently a computer specialist in Montreal, is married, and has two beautiful children.  
He studied music for several years with Mr. Alexandros Bardas from Chios, who was a student of Hatzistamatis (who, in turn, was a student of Georgios Binakis).  Georgios K. Michalakis also studied for about two years with the calliphonus aforementionned chanter.  Nicolaos also knew and studied sporadically with Mr. TSOLAKIDIS, and we express our gratitude to him for the black and white portait of the A Canonarch. Nicolaos also studied Byz. Music in Greece, and concluded with three years intense study under the guidance of the late Archon Protochanter of North America, Mr. Mathaios Andreou (+2000, student of Bamboudakis).
In the following recording, the friends met after more than  5 years' of georgraphical separation and sang these hymns without any practice whatsoever.  Montreal, 1995, 1997, and 2001.
