A new ensemble is born within the Foundation. The initiative belongs to Sotiris Saperas, a student at the Department of Music Studies of the Ionian University and a member of our Youth Orchestra. We extend our warmest thanks to all the young musicians who took part — students of the Kalogeropoulos Conservatoire, members of the Youth Orchestra, and guest musicians alike. Yet another exciting new chapter for the Kalogeropoulos Conservatoire and Foundation for Arts and Culture.
