ANO International Church Organ Festival on Syros

Overview

The 10th ANO International Church Organ Festival is being held on the island of Syros, coinciding with the bicentennial of Hermoupolis. Organized by the Catholic Diocese of Syros and the Association of Greek Catholics of Syros, the event highlights the historic organ of Saint George Cathedral, which is the oldest functional church organ in Greece.

The festival opened with a performance by Olivier Latry, the titular organist of Notre-Dame de Paris. The event drew massive crowds that exceeded the cathedral’s capacity, requiring some spectators to view the performance via projections in the courtyard. Latry’s recital included an improvisation based on the work of Markos Vamvakaris as a tribute to local tradition.
