Chamber Choir

The HFC in Odesa extends its activities to cultural initiatives with the participation of the Branch’s Greek language students. One example of the cultural activity and intervention of the HFC among Odesa youth is its formation of a choir and dance troupe. Pupils – both children and teenagers – present works by Greek composers and traditional dances at the Branch’s facilities, as well as at cultural events organised by other institutions in the city.

Odesa Municipality has awarded an honorary distinction to the choir and dance troupe for their active participation in the cultural life of the city.
