The Foundation of the Hellenic World invites children and teenagers
to participate in a new musical community!
From October 11, 2025 at The «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre
The choir of the Foundation of the Hellenic World invites children and teenagers aged 8 to 18, who love music, to become part of a vibrant community of sound, expression, and joy under the guidance of music educator Matthaia Spitadaki.
On piano accompaniment will be professor Fotini Tsaknaki, with many years of teaching experience in conservatories and elementary schools. At the same time, she has composed original music for films, theatrical performances, and documentaries.
Through a selected repertoire of Greek and international music, the young choristers will gradually develop their vocal technique, cultivate rhythmic and listening skills, learn to collaborate, and build trust within the group. The choir is not just music; it is a place of growth, empathy, and creative freedom.
Audition for the children’s choir
The choir of the Foundation of the Hellenic World announces the start of auditions for children and teenagers who want to discover the magic of collective creation. The audition will take place at The «Hellenic Cosmos» Cultural Centre on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 11:00 to 13:00 and concerns children aged 8 to 18.
Participants must prepare a song of their choice in order to present their vocal identity and musical expression. As part of the process, 2–3 simple listening exercises will be conducted to cultivate rhythm and teamwork. No prior theoretical knowledge is required. The only prerequisite is the love of singing and the willingness to participate in a creative and artistic group.
You can register by phone at 212 254 0000 or by sending an email to callcenter@ime.gr until Friday, October 3.
The choir will be held every Saturday 12:00–14:00. Each rehearsal is an experience that cultivates the voice, strengthens the soul, and creates collective soundscapes filled with harmony and emotion.
Participation in a choir offers much more than practice: it boosts self-confidence, provides emotional relief, and opens channels of communication beyond words. It is a breath in everyday life, a way to become part of an ensemble that sings with one heart.
