SYROS MUSIC ASSOCIATION

Known for its great cultural heritage it is no wonder Syros also carries a great musical culture. Building on that the music-fanatics of the island decided to form the Syros Music Association in 1983 in order to preserve the island’s rich musical heritage and to promote instrumental music and lyrical singing. Over the years the island’s chorus participated in various competitions in the country while major high-profile artists like Manolis Mitsias participated in various events thus enhancing the island’s musical education. Today the Association accounts for 220 members and continues its effort to spread music to the ends of the world.
