Join us live or virtually for our next HDForum on Friday, April 25th at 7pm EST!

Stergios Vakoulis of Serres, Greece will be presenting live from Charlotte to kick off Anoixi Weekend. His presentation titled "Kythira as a Cultural Crossroads: Influences from the North, South, East, and West," will draw from his extensive research of the island of Kythira and will highlight how the island's music and dance customs reflect influences from the Pelopponese, Crete, the Aegean, and the Ionian. Nikos Bariamis of Sparti, Greece will join the conversation as well to discuss some of the shared music of the Peloponnese and Kythira. Time for questions will follow for both the live and virtual audience.

We will wrap up the HDForum with a Q&A about HDF and the upcoming 25th Anniversary event with members of the HDF Executive Committee.

If you can't join us live in Charlotte, the livestream will begin at 7pm EST on the Hellenic Dance Festival YouTube Channel.
