The "Spiros Samaras" Philharmonic Society of Korakiana

Deutchland

Founded in 1958, this is one of Corfu's largest musical and cultural associations. It teaches the art of music, singing, drama, dance, the Arts, and much more. Its aim is to maintain, improve and hand on the cultural heritage of the area. The main body of the Philharmonic (the band) consists of about 100 musicians. In addition, the following sections also exist: the Bandina, a light music orchestra, and various musical groups.

The first appearance by the Musical Society took place on 25 March 1961 in Ano Koriakana, and on 2 April 1961, Palm Sunday, in the town of Corfu, and was considered an important event in the musical tradition of Corfu. It takes part in all the cultural and other events of the island. On 21 May 1975, at the Province's Philharmonic Festival, it took first prize. The Academy of Athens, in recognition of the significant work of the Philharmonic Society, presented it with an award in October 2000.

The Philharmonic Society is a great asset to Korakiana, to the Municipality of Faiakes, and to Corfu in general, and is one of the most authentic components of the island's heritage. Both musical and cultural organisation, it is a nucleus of cultural activity, affording a highly professional grounding in music for the young, with excellent results.
