Boston Lykeion Ellinidon

The Boston Lykeion Ellinidon was honored to participate in the Greek Festival at Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church.

We would like to sincerely thank the parish and festival organizers for their warm invitation and hospitality. It is always a pleasure to support one another.

It was a wonderful experience to dance, connect with so many people, and be part of such a successful festival. Thank you for having us—we look forward to many more celebrations together!

Today, we remember and mourn the 353,000 men, women, and children killed during the Genocide of the Pontian Greeks from 1914-1923. One way we honor those who were lost is to share our culture through music and dance. We dance together to celebrate the survival of our people, our language, and our traditions

Claire Aliki Collins and Irene Galarneau of the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon joined forces with and Nikos Apazidis to inspire the next generation at with the music and dances of Pontos

Did you know that the first major performance by the Lykeion ton Ellinidon took place on May 1, 1911 at the Zappeion in Athens, Greece? Led by founder Kalliroi Siganou-Parren, the women from the Lykeion celebrated Protomaia with an Anthesteria – the Festival of the Flowers. The women wore recreations of ancient Greece dress and traditional attire of Megara and performed dances including sytros, ballos, kalamatiano, and the pentozalis.

Tonight, members of the Board of the Boston Lykeion Ellinidon met with the Presidential Guard of Greece.

We look forward to participating with them tomorrow in the Boston Greek Independence Day Parade (start time: 1:00 pm).
