Founded in 1911 under the name 'Apollo Music Society' which in 1953 was changed to its present name. Its aim is to teach and promote music, the theatre, fine arts and in general the growth and development of the cultural level of the residents of Lefkimmi. It has been invited to take part in events in various towns in Greece. Its long-term contribution has not been confined to music, however. Its theatrical performances, chiefly post-war, were an important factor in the entertainment of the local people during a particularly hard time. The Society consists of 110 members under the direction of band leader Spiros Samoilis, and maintains an orchestra, band, and dance group (noted for the 'kantrillies', a traditional Carnival dance).
