THE EPIRUS ENSEMBLE
We are pleased to share that The Greek Institute has brought under its auspices "The Epirus Ensemble", a new music educational program led by Aristic Director, Vasilis Kostas. This program welcomes musicians of all levels and aims to provide students with an experience of the musical tradition of Epirus, Greece. Students will learn various repertoires, explore the history and culture behind the music, interact with Master musicians from Epirus through monthly virtual workshops, and prepare for student presentations and concerts in Boston and Epirus in the future. This program is a 10 month continuous workshop. For more information and to register, please send an e-mail to: epirusensemble@gmail.com.  
 
 
VIDEOS OF PAST EVENTS HOSTED BY THE GREEK INSTITUTE 
 
As a result of Covid-19, we at The Greek Institute had to find creative ways to continue offering our core events and programs to the public. We were very fortunate to partner with a wonderful production company, The Autumn Salon, led by Christos Vayenas. In collaboration with The Autumn Salon, we were able to produce the following events, which we offer to you. Enjoy!
