Wednesday 24 June 2026, 20:00 – Forecourt of the Cathedral of the Apostle Paul, Corinth
“With a deep sense of honour, emotion, and responsibility, the Youth Orchestra of the Foundation takes part this year in the leading anniversary celebrations of ‘Pavleia 2026.’
On Wednesday, 24 June at 20:00, in the courtyard of the Holy Cathedral of the Apostle Paul of Corinth, our young musicians will have the blessing and the highest honour of performing the work ‘The Hymn of Love,’ based on the immortal text of Paul, the Apostle of the Nations (1 Corinthians 13), set to music by Mr. Panagiotis Theodosiou, with the participation of two talented sopranos, Inga Balabanova & Evi Tsirtsi.
For our Foundation, taking part in an institution that honours the spiritual beacon of our faith and culture marks a milestone in our artistic journey. The union of youthful creativity with the eternal words of the Apostle Paul on Love, the greatest of virtues, is for us both a duty and a source of inspiration.
We express our warm thanks to the Holy Metropolis and the organisers for this honourable invitation.
We look forward to having you all join us in sharing this reverence and this feast of music.
As an institution, the ‘Pavleia’ celebrations has earned national recognition. The presence of the Foundation there confirms that its important work is valued by the Metropolis of Corinth.
Your Eminence, thank you!”
